Immigration restrictionists often repeat the slogan, "What part of illegal don't you understand?" to illustrate the contentious quality of the immigration reform debate in the United States. This impasse is due to widespread misinformation about immigration, which Prieto argues is produced by law and has tremendous consequences for individuals and families. Myth and Reality in the U.S. Immigration Debate synthesizes key lessons from sociology, law and society, history, economics, and critical race studies in a digestible and engaging format to serve as an introduction to the study of immigration and a primer for those who wish to engage in a sober and compassionate conversation about immigrants and immigration in the United States.

Immigration reform has been a contentious issue in the United States since at least 1986, when the immigration system was last reformed. This impasse is largely due to widespread misinformation about immigration. This short and accessible textbook takes a critical perspective on immigration law and policy, arguing that immigrant illegality is itself produced by law, with tremendous consequences for individuals and families.
Across six chapters that examine the conceptual, historical, economic, global, legal, and racial dimensions of immigration to the United States, Prieto argues that illegal immigration is a problem of policy, not people. History and cutting-edge social science data guide an analysis of the actual, empirical impact of immigration on U.S. society. By debunking myths about immigration, the reader is invited to form their own opinion on the basis of fact and in light of the unequal treatment different immigrant groups have received since the nation's founding.
Myth and Reality in the U.S. Immigration Debate synthesizes key lessons from the fields of sociology, law and society, history, economics, and critical race studies in a digestible and engaging format. This text will serve as an introduction to the study of immigration and a primer for those who wish to engage in a sober and compassionate conversation about immigrants and immigration in the United States.
