FROM A DEADLY BORDER TO AMERICA'S KIDNAPPING CAPITAL¿THE SECRET LIVES AT THE HEART OF THE IMMIGRATION WAR Arizona's violent border is the busiest gateway for illegal immigration in America, making the state ground zero for the immigration debate. No state is as hostile to the undocumented, and no city is as unwelcoming as Phoenix. Yet Phoenix is home to thousands who live in the shadows, where civil rights are neglected and lives are lost. Illegal sheds light on the invisible immigrants who persevere despite kidnappings and drug wars, an ongoing recession, and laws barring them from setting foot in Arizona, working, and driving. By profiling these undocumented people, and those¿like notorious Sheriff Joe Arpaiöwho persecute them, author Terry Greene Sterling courageously exposes the dangerously tattered fabric of a divisive national crisis.
