Let Them In

I have yet to read the book, though it (Let Them In) and Mexifornia are both on my list of books to read.  Let Them In hasn't arrived at the library and Mexifornia has been checked out everytime I've visited.  Both books address immigration, especially immigration from Mexico.  This is an important issue, considering Hispanics will greatly out number African-Americans*  in the coming decades.  It will be important for us as a nation to have the current understanding about the situation so that we can avoid the mistakes of the past and continue our progress toward truly being a melting pot of different cultures.

This clip from the Cato Institute with the author of Let Them In is the next best thing to reading the book, until I can get a hold of the book.

*Seriously we need another word besides African-Americans.  I don't like hyphens, they detract from unity.  We just need a cool sounding ethnic name that's not racist that works like Hispanic/Latino.
