The treatment of immigrants and immigration policies in America are hot button
topics. These policies, often seen as unlawful and dehumanizing, are catalyzing
people across the nation to speak up for change. Prompted by YES! Magazine's
student writing competition and Lornet Turnbull's article "Two-Thirds of
Americans Live in the "Constitution-Free Zone", eight powerful young voices join
this chorus to speak out against immigration practices within the nation. Their
raw, personal experiences with racism and fear remind us of the sobering
realities that exist in our world.
The strength in their words reveals the impact each individual is capable of,
and remind us of the power we each have to make a difference.
