Countering the chorus of anti-immigrant voices that have grown increasingly loud in the current political moment, No One is Illegal exposes the racism of anti-immigration vigilantes and puts a human face on the immigrants who risk their lives to cross the border to work in the United States.
This second edition has a new introduction to frame the analysis of the struggle for immigrant rights and the roots of the backlash.
Justin Akers Chacón is the author of the forthcoming Radicals in the Barrio: Magonistas, Socialists, Wobblies, and Communists in the Mexican American Working Class.
Mike Davis is the author many books, including The Ecology of Fear and Planet of Slums.
