In this dual polemic and manifesto, Julissa dives into and tears apart the lie that assimilation leads to belonging. She combs through history and her own story to break down this myth, arguing that assimilation is a moving finish line designed to keep Black and brown Americans and immigrants chasing racist American ideals. She talks about the Lie of Success, the Lie of Legality, the Lie of Whiteness, and the Lie of English - each promising that if you obtain these things, you will reach acceptance and won’t be an outsider anymore.

In the most impoverished neighborhood in New York City, the South Bronx, I help students that dropped out of high school achieve their goal and receive a high school diploma. The reason that I feel like I am in the right place for my job is because just like these "lost" students, I was going through a tough transition myself as I left my impoverished third-world country for a better opportunity. The toughest students are sometimes the best ones. I decided to publish this book to show that in each of one there is hope for a better future.

Hands up! Who wants to be a refugee? I certainly did not! My mother had other ideas. For a fateful moment, the iron fist of oppression eased its grip. This was all she needed. We crossed two borders. The physical barrier was easy. The culture gap was harder to bridge. This story is about human foolishness, selfishness, and frailty. Yet, above all, the enduring courage of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times.

This topic has intimidated politicians, created racial rifts among our communities, and has left us just as divided as we were during the Civil War. And that divide is growing. This collection of short but true stories illuminates the horrors faced along the border. As a former border patrol agent in Nogales, Arizona, and a missionary in Mexico, Marcus T. Livy has literally lived on both sides of the fence and on the topic of immigration.

Losing Control is a vivid history of the past half century of immigration politics and policy. It is also a dramatic ground-level account of how the story took shape. Kammer describes the economic and cultural forces that both pushed millions of migrants from home communities in Latin America and pulled them northward to the US. He shows how the backlash gradually emerged from the frustrations of American workers and communities who felt overwhelmed by the influx and betrayed by their government.
