Engage and Evade: How Latino Immigrant Families Manage Surveillance in Everyday Life with Asad Asad

Learn more about the lives of undocumented immigrants residing in the United States, as they navigate the challenges of carving out their lives amid a growing web of surveillance that threatens their and their families' societal presence.

He brings together a wealth of research, from intimate interviews and detailed surveys with Latino immigrants and their families to up-close observations of immigration officials, to offer a rare perspective on the surveillance that undocumented immigrants encounter daily.

We also do not have the resources to support in the way you suggest all of the potential immigrants that would like to come here. You seem to like the idea of open borders and unlimited immigration.
