Great history of deportation practices in the US. Id recommend this for the portion on "voluntary deportation," which I have never seen covered in as much depth.

The book opens with a quote from a TERF named Adrienne Rich. So I don't trust the author's discernment.

I was assigned to read this book for a class I took surrounding immigration and the history of the United States. I'm not going to lie, I was not excited to read it. However, The Deportation Machine opened my eyes to so many different aspects of how immigrants were and continue to be perceived and treated in this country. Goodman, the author, is clearly very knowledgeable about the subject and his writing made me question why the United States calls itself a "nation of immigrants" if they always have and continue to treat those who want to live and work in their nation so poorly.

5/5⭐️. This is such a well-done, well-researched history of immigration in the United States. Goodman pays particular attention to the historical deportation of Mexicans & Mexican Americans, flowing and connecting to the history of today (up to 2019), including the creation of ICE. Excellent history and I wish I had learned it sooner.
