Gr 6 Up —Immigration is certainly a hot political topic, and these five volumes provide a comprehensive overview of its numerous aspects. Readers learn how the United States is one of the few countries that recognizes jus soli (birthright citizenship). The text also explains the history and role of Border Patrol,problems with detaining undocumented immigrants, President Obama’s executive order allowing Dreamers certain rights, and under what circumstances asylum is granted. All titles are generally positive in championing the rights of immigrants. Issues not frequently found elsewhere (such as birthright tourism) are discussed. The information provided is current through 2019.
VERDICT The timely issue of immigration is well explored in these volumes, which should be of use to readers with an interest in the topic and report writers alike.
