Detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"The nation remains divided on the issue of detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants. Most Americans recognize there are no easy solutions to the problem. The majority of migrants today are not Mexicans but families from Central America. Most request asylum at the border, seeking to escape poverty and violence in their own countries. This explosion has raised many issues related to detention and deportation, including family separations at the border, overcrowding and unhealthy conditions at detention centers, and the rise of sanctuary cities. Throughout this crisis, there is a struggle to balance enforcement with protection of immigrant rights"--,Provided by publisher
