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.

The immigration reform debate in the United States has been ongoing since at least 1986, with widespread misinformation about immigration contributing to the impasse. This textbook takes a critical perspective on immigration law and policy, arguing that immigrant illegality is produced by law and has significant consequences for individuals and families. It examines the conceptual, historical, economic, global, legal, and racial dimensions of immigration to the United States and debunks myths about immigration. The book uses history and cutting-edge social science data to analyze the actual empirical impact of immigration on U.S. society and encourages readers to form their own opinions based on facts and the unequal treatment of different immigrant groups since the nation's founding.
