Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen
by Jose Antonio Vargas
Glad I read this to help me understand what life can be like for an undocumented American like Jose Antonio Vargas and what they go through to “pass” as an American citizen. How even those who are trying their hardest to obtain American citizenship are denied a path to do so, even when they are here through no fault of their own. This isn’t a memoir of what we think of as a stereotypical undocumented American (ie from Mexico, central or South America) and of course I may have biased views being the daughter of a “legal” Filipino immigrant. The part about how there is no “line” to get into to become documented is sticking with me. Our immigration and naturalization system is broken but it was built that way. How do we fix it? I don’t know the answer but would like to find out more.
