Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here

Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here is a remarkably rich and forensically detailed account of the origins and current realities of the immigration crisis on the southern border of the United States. An odyssey of struggle and resilience, this book tells the epic story of those whose lives flow across the border and those who help and hinder them.

Brilliantly weaving the stories of Central Americans whose lives have been devastated by chronic political conflict and violence with those of American activists, government officials, and the politicians responsible for the country's tragically tangled immigration policy, Blitzer reveals the full, layered picture for the first time.
