Fariborz Ghadar has been a tireless thought leader in helping us all understand the value of immigration. This book strongly reinforces his position that immigrants make invaluable contributions to American innovation, the American economy, and the American dream. This book elevates current debates surrounding immigration and calls for the implementation of a comprehensive U.S. immigration policy that, instead of working against the country's best interests, remains true to American values and economic success.

Dr. Ghadar provides a concise yet sweeping review of U.S. immigration and its positive socioeconomic impact on industries critical to its economic success. With a vast array of real-world examples, Ghadar reminds the reader of the urgency to create a system that provides a legal means of entrance and egress that would prove a boon to all involved. To make America a beacon of freedom and opportunity for immigrants is not only an ideal, it is a requirement to ensure the viability of almost every economic sector in the United States.
