It's Complicated

Everyday Law for Immigrants is the most understandable description of US immigration law I have read and if that isn't enough it contains a timely and surprising bonus. The bonus is that in it's discussion of the relationship and history of state versus federal immigration law it explains why Arizona SB1070 is almost certainly unconstitutional and will eventually be voided by the Supreme Court. This is a result of a Supreme Court ruling in 1849. It is very well explained in the book and is worth reading even if you don't agree. In this short readable book Romero takes one through the agency and acronym thicket that is our immigration law and describe the hidden logic. The book is occasionally ironic and mostly jargon free. (this is high praise when dealing with a schizophrenic organization like DHS) It also has excellent footnotes and a very useful resource guide. Everyday Law for Immigrants take a complicated set of laws and procedures and turns it into an understandable, although not palatable, scheme. Well done.
