Have you heard an anti-immigrant argument that you feel is wrong, but need the facts to contest? (For example: "Immigrants are a drain on social services.") Do you have your own fear or concern about the issue? (For example: "Are the lowest-paid US-born workers really hurt by immigration?") Bring your concerns to an upcoming dialogue, facilitated by Jane Guskin, co-author (with David Wilson) of the newly released Monthly Review Press book "The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers." We'll work together to develop effective responses using facts, rational reasoning and personal experiences.

What people are saying about "The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers":
"We desperately need to put aside false information about immigrants, to see them as we see ourselves with honesty and compassion. This book gives powerful meaning to the slogan 'No Human Being is Illegal.' I hope it will be widely read."
- Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States
"As the immigrant rights movement grows in size and energy, we need quick facts and deep history. This book gives us both."
- Aarti Shahani, co-founder, Families for Freedom
"Guskin and Wilson have identified the hot-button points in the national immigration debate, and have set out to undo the stereotypes, misinformation and prejudice that paralyze rational thought on the subject. This book is a great reality check, a good teaching tool, and a powerful weapon against racism."
- David Bacon, author of Communities Without Borders: Images and Voices from the World of Migration
