Overview

Immigration is one of the biggest issues facing the world today. In many areas of the world, significant numbers of immigrants and refugees attempt to leave their homes and make new homes in foreign countries. Not everyone is welcoming of these newcomers. Rifts between political parties expressing different points of view around this topic are dividing people more than ever. Written to engage high school students while also remaining accessible to those with lower reading level skills, this book will help enlighten young people about this divisive current issue.
