The facts about immigration.
No spin.

Reading this book feels like lifting a fog — you come away with a deeper understanding of why immigration has shaped, and continues to shape, our world in profound ways. It’s not just for immigration or mobility professionals; it’s for anyone who wants to engage with the truth of one of the most defining issues of our time.

As someone who has always considered myself pro-immigration, this book challenged me to be less passively supportive and more actively aware of the wide range of ways that immigration makes our country a better place. Zeke writes the book in a way that is welcoming no matter your current stance on immigration — being sensitive to concerns people have, letting the data speak for itself, and being honest about the root causes. This book is informative, not political.

I’m independent with more republican votes historically — the book is evidence based, non-partisan. True real evidence, peer reviewed and not sponsored by any special interest groups.

I am not now, nor have I ever been ‘anti-immigration.’ However, this nonpartisan and fact-based explanation was eye opening to so many misconceptions and reservations that I have knowingly, and unknowingly, struggled with on this topic.

Everyone, regardless of political view, needs to read this! Zeke does a masterful job blending compelling storytelling and well-cited studies to deliver a powerful message. This isn’t just about how the system fails immigrants, but how a fear-driven, antiquated system fails all of us!

He’s not preachy. He’s not patronizing. He’s willing to meet people of good will where they are. He acknowledges fears and concerns. Then, he provides a research-based case for why virtually every argument against immigration is unfounded.

I believe that every corporate and civic leader (and everyday citizens) should read this book so they can see how to leverage immigrants to enrich their businesses and our communities. I have shared this book with anyone that will listen to me, not to persuade them to believe my perspective, but to get educated so better decisions can be made.

This book is a triumph of research and writing. Hernandez has successfully and accessibly distilled the research on the effects of immigration and immigrants on society and what we lose when we choose to stagnate. The data is faithfully presented and irrefutable.

This book is honestly one of the most eye-opening things I’ve read about immigration. Zeke Hernandez really lays out the facts here — no fluff, just straight data that makes you rethink a lot of the stuff we’ve been told.

I’m a History professor and found this book to be filled with the kind of information and perspective necessary to have an informed opinion about immigration. This is an accurate, data-driven, historically-rooted analysis of the net positive role immigration has played and will continue to play in our history.

I am so thankful I found this book to back up the truth with data. It can be so confusing and chaotic to listen to the news, not knowing what is truth and exaggeration. I appreciate the time this author put into speaking truth about immigration.

This phenomenal book should be required reading for ALL Americans. Incredibly well written that explains data that anyone can understand.
