Book Preview:

#1 The first question child migrants are asked at the US intake is why did you come to the United States. The answer is never that simple, as their stories are always shattered beyond repair.

#2 Before leaving for our road trip, we felt a little out of place. We were applying for green cards, which is a strange feeling since you are not supposed to leave the country during the application process.

#3 The immigration crisis became known as the unaccompanied minors crisis.

#4 We read the papers, listen to the radio, and see photographs of migrant children covered in dust, and we wonder if the reactions would be different were all these children of a lighter color.
