 Kudos to Ankarlo July 12, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a well written and well thought out book. Ankarlo did a great job of telling the story like it is. The message presented should be taken to heart by all readers. There is a strong lesson to be learned about our borders and the control of them. We in Arizona see more of the problem than most other states would but it affects us all in ways we don't even imagine. Ankarlo did a fine job of presenting the whole story from our perspective. Thanks for a well done job.
 Vicious anti-immigrant propaganda. Save your money. July 9, 2008

Ankarlo is a so-called "conservative" radio host, doing what conservative radio hosts do best: pandering to their audiences. In the tradition of other conservative/populist media entities like Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and Lou Dobbs, he knows just what his right-wing audience wants to hear and boy does he give it to them. The first half of the book, more or less, is meant to fool readers into thinking he's taken a "balanced" assessment of immigrants by empathizing with their struggles. However, the book quickly takes a savage, almost comical, turn where immigrants are responsible for virtually all of America's ills. If this kind of extremist "writing" is what appeals to you, you'll probably fall even further in love with Ankarlo. If you are looking for a balanced and intellectually honest assessment of the challenges of immigration, look elsewhere.

k, i just finished reading this book and all i can say is what a great book, what a great book , what a great book. I cant say it enough, I wish there was a way to make everyone with any opinion on the immigration issue read this.
It provided in my opinion such an unbiased look at ALL sides involved in the illegal immigration into this country. Again an amazing book.
a must read.

I lived the odyssey when it happened live over the radio. The book started out just as I'd hoped: an honest account of the trip across the border. Then it gradually deteriorated into chapter after chapter of opinionated political statements on immigration. It's not so bad for me, because I happen to agree with Ankarlo on most things. I was hoping for more details and story telling about the trip. He's much better at the story telling than the politicizing and those chapters were the best.

Until I read this book, I thought I had a clear, knowledgeable understanding of illegal immigration. Before the fifth chapter I realized how little I actually knew, and I live in the area Ankarlo is writing about. One of the other reviews I read was critical of the black and white photographs in the book. If I wanted to be critical, I would agree. However, Ankarlo describes his experiences with such detail, the reader's mind paints its own picture. The photographs value to me were visual evidence of Ankarlo's words that I read in almost disbelief. Let's hope more people take this subject to heart.
