this is an important edition to the collection of work that explores immigration within america. the lack of a comprehensive, just immigration system leaves millions of human beings stuck in a cycle of being american without being able to BE american. Vargas explored his personal experience with the immigration system, what it means for him to be considered illegally living in the united states, and the ways he has paved a way for himself

overall, it did feel disjointed and i couldn’t emotionally connect due to the way the the book is written, without much detail, feeling or grappling
