"For its broad scope and compassionate storytelling, Moore's body of work is an essential record of U.S. immigration." 

– Yahoo News

 "Moore's instincts put him in the middle of the hottest topic of the day. His book goes well beyond the superficial coverage of TV shout-fests and politicians' news releases, and he explains how he got the story."
