The Undocumented Americans

Karla's voice makes such an impassioned plea for acknowledging that the undocumented Americans are real humans with hopes and dreams and downsides...just like those humans who were born on this soil.

I thought this book was going to be a little dry, and probably full of stats about what kinds of people are being lumped together. I was surprised and awed instead by the work that Karla gives us.

I highly recommend the audio version. Her voice voice makes the words in her written voice even more powerful.

These stories are important. I'm glad they're told here and that I read them.
I was expecting a nonfiction book but this was a mix between a memoir, nonfiction, and fiction. I think the author referred to it as “creative nonfiction”. I really enjoyed the “reporting” part, not so much the creative parts.
I'm leaving this one unrated.
