1. Everyone Who Is Gone Here
The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis
Everyone who makes the journey faces an impossible choice. Hundreds of thousands of people who arrive every year at the US-Mexico border travel far from their homes. Some are fleeing persecution, others crime or hunger. Their homes have become uninhabitable. They will take their chances. This vast and unremitting crisis did not spring up overnight. Brilliantly weaving the stories of Central Americans whose lives have been devastated by chronic political conflict and violence with those of American activists, government officials, and the politicians responsible for the country's tragically tangled immigration policy, Blitzer reveals the full, layered picture for the first time.
