Book Description
Living in America does not mean you are an American citizen. This is what you need to know. Make no mistake about it. If you have been born one moment away or one foot from the borders of this country, you must consider yourself a guest within the borders. So act accordingly and behave yourself! Or you will find yourself on the receiving end of a very tragic and unsympathetic deportation process. This book is crazy as hell. Its like having four books in one. Its a sequel to Do You Want To Go To Jail Today? and A Wrong Turn . . . A Bad Decision: The Extortion of Probation by Nick Rahaman. In this book the day-to-day struggles to survive within the walls of a deportation camp and racism is redefined. Many of us believe what is happening with deportation is appalling, cruel, and vicious. Many of us has certainly justified it is necessary for the safety of our citizens, property, livelihood, and the economic stability of our nation.

Deported to Death
Author: Jeremy Slack
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520969715
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
What happens to migrants after they are deported from the United States and dropped off at the Mexican border, often hundreds if not thousands of miles from their hometowns? In this eye-opening work, Jeremy Slack foregrounds the voices and experiences of Mexican deportees, who frequently become targets of extreme forms of violence, including migrant massacres, upon their return to Mexico. Navigating the complex world of the border, Slack investigates how the high-profile drug war has led to more than two hundred thousand deaths in Mexico, and how many deportees, stranded and vulnerable in unfamiliar cities, have become fodder for drug cartel struggles. Like no other book before it, Deported to Death reshapes debates on the long-term impact of border enforcement and illustrates the complex decisions migrants must make about whether to attempt the return to an often dangerous life in Mexico or face increasingly harsh punishment in the United States.

From Deportation to Prison
Author: Patrisia Macías-Rojas
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479820822
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Winner, 2017 Oliver Cromwell Cox Book Award A thorough and captivating exploration of how mass incarceration and law and order policies of the past forty years have transformed immigration and border enforcement Criminal prosecutions for immigration offenses have more than doubled over the last two decades, as national debates about immigration and criminal justice reforms became headline topics. What lies behind this unprecedented increase? From Deportation to Prison unpacks how the incarceration of over two million people in the United States gave impetus to a federal immigration initiative—The Criminal Alien Program (CAP)—designed to purge non-citizens from dangerously overcrowded jails and prisons. Drawing on over a decade of ethnographic and archival research, the findings in this book reveal how the Criminal Alien Program quietly set off a punitive turn in immigration enforcement that has fundamentally altered detention, deportation, and criminal prosecutions for immigration offenses. Patrisia Macías-Rojas presents a “street-level” perspective on how this new regime has serious lived implications for the day-to-day actions of Border Patrol agents, local law enforcement, civil and human rights advocates, and for migrants and residents of predominantly Latina/o border communities.

Deported Americans

Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478004525
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
When Gina was deported to Tijuana, Mexico, in 2011, she left behind her parents, siblings, and children, all of whom are U.S. citizens. Despite having once had a green card, Gina was removed from the only country she had ever known. In Deported Americans legal scholar and former public defender Beth C. Caldwell tells Gina's story alongside those of dozens of other Dreamers, who are among the hundreds of thousands who have been deported to Mexico in recent years. Many of them had lawful status, held green cards, or served in the U.S. military. Now, they have been banished, many with no hope of lawfully returning. Having interviewed over one hundred deportees and their families, Caldwell traces deportation's long-term consequences—such as depression, drug use, and homelessness—on both sides of the border. Showing how U.S. deportation law systematically fails to protect the rights of immigrants and their families, Caldwell challenges traditional notions of what it means to be an American and recommends legislative and judicial reforms to mitigate the injustices suffered by the millions of U.S. citizens affected by deportation.

Reflective Network Therapy In The Preschool Classroom
Author: Gilbert Kliman
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 076185469X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Reflective Network Therapy describes a remarkably effective school-based treatment method that harnesses small social networks for the good of seriously emotionally disturbed preschoolers or those with autism spectrum disorders. The book provides an in-depth explanation of the method — including the work of parents, peers, teachers, and mental health therapists. The RNT method has a substantial evidence base, with about the same number of treated children and a larger number of comparison and control cases as the published IQ results of the most widely used school based method. It has been used in many real life environments and is well-tested for feasibility, replicability, IQ effects, and children's global mental health results. The RNT method does not separate the child from peers by pairing him with an aide but is peer, teacher and parent inclusive. The cost-benefits and human benefits are extraordinary.
