Join NACLA and renowned author David Bacon, along with Jane Guskin,
co-author of The Politics of Immigration: Questions and Answers, and a
representative from Families for Freedom, for a discussion of David's
latest book:

Illegal People: How Globalization Creates Migration and Criminalizes
Immigrants
(Beacon, $25.95, 272p, ISBN 978-0-8070-4226-7)
http://www.beacon.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=2002

A veteran photojournalist explores the human side of globalization and
argues for new ways to think about and legislate around immigration.

Through interviews and on-the-spot reporting from both impoverished
communities abroad and American immigrant workplaces and
neighborhoods, Bacon shows how the United States' trade and economic
policy abroad, in seeking to create a favorable investment climate for
large corporations, creates conditions to displace communities and set
migration into motion. Trade policy and immigration are intimately
linked, Bacon argues, and are, in fact, elements of a single economic
system.
