From a veteran broadcaster and historian comes a richly reported portrait of the newest Americans, immigrants from all over the globe who are living all across the country, filled with their own voices.

We are a nation of immigrants, never more than now. In recent decades, the numbers have skyrocketed, thanks to people coming from many continents—especially Asia, Africa, and South America. Just like their predecessors, they face countless obstacles, including political hatred. And yet, just like their predecessors, they work hard. They persist. And they become us. The newest Americans are poorly understood and frequently presented only in stereotypes. Veteran journalist, broadcaster, and interviewer Ray Suarez has criss-crossed the country to speak to new Americans from all corners of the globe, and to record their stories. This portrait of our newest citizens is full of their own, compelling voices. It’s a story as old as the country, yet each new wave of arrivals tells that classic story in new and crucially important ways.

I loved the use of storytelling throughout the book. Combining statistics, evidence based statements, and historical perspective within a landscape of storytelling made my listening and learning experience that much more engaging.

Great book. Very nice narration.

Mostly I just find the authors voice calming. He has first hand knowledge of a side of the immigration debate that many need to hear. The book is well written & considers all other perspectives. If you already know who Ray Suarez is, you know that he speaks & writes in perfectly grammatical & well written sentences.

Gives a wide perspective on illegal immigration.
