Should we build a wall of the border between Mexico and the U.S. dividing us from our friends, our neighbors, our family? In contrast to those who promote building walls between Mexico and the U.S., The New American Pioneers is an authoritative, in depth look at the complex issues related to Mexican immigration. The author skillfully presents the readily verifiable facts as opposed to bias, hysteria, and special interests. This book enlightens our minds with facts and touches our hearts with stories told by the immigrants themselves.
