More Than an American Paperback - 2010

From the publisher

For centuries we, the Anglos of the West, have "illegally" used and abused the People of Color from around the world. We have made them slaves, stolen their valuable land (half of Mexico), and natural resources (oil, ores, timber), but most sadly, we have trampled on their cherished human dignity. Today the issue of illegal immigration is not only a problem on the U.S.-Mexican border, but it is a global situation as evidenced also in Europe. "Raped" peoples from Africa, Middle East, Asia, etc., are desperately trying to reach the West (through Turkey, Bulgaria), looking for work, food. (In essence, they are trying to recover what was once taken from them.) It is, as if their own just "Manifest Destiny" has finally arrived. One of the best ways to solve this problem is to instead of spending billions of dollars in misguided enforcement efforts, (deportations, border guards, 800-mile wall) is to help people economically in their own countries who have been left victims by us Western conquerors, colonials, thieves. This book covers the past/current issues of illegal Immigration -- costs, "anchor babies," E-Verify, English-only, amnesty/legalization. The Third World says, "Always remember, we are not under-developed countries, merely overly exploited ones." And, "'No Mas' (no more) shall be the new Revolutionary cry heard around the world from our deep hearts, parched lips, and from those that support us who also believe in the true Equality of the Family of Man.
