The Undocumented Americans

Karla Cornejo Villavicencio travels across the United States to report on the lives of undocumented immigrants beyond familiar political debates about the border and DACA. Drawing on reporting and her own experience as a DACA recipient, she profiles people whose stories are often reduced to headlines or policy categories. The book combines personal narrative, journalism, and social commentary to examine belonging, fear, resilience, and what it means to be American.
