Immigration Reform: The Corpse That Will Not Die

Charles Kamasaki's Immigration Reform - The Corpse that Will Not Die is an insider’s history of how the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and the Immigration Act of 1990 were shaped, debated, and ultimately passed; thereby legalized nearly three million previously undocumented immigrants and protected millions more from deportation, nearly doubled legal immigration, preserved the asylum system, and rejected indiscriminate mass deportation. Over the last twenty years, pro-immigrant advocates and lawmakers have tried and failed repeatedly to enact progressive comprehensive immigration reforms. Today, this book is more relevant than ever.
