challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

Maria Hinojosa does a great job of weaving her personal story and journey amongst the broader story of immigration in the U.S. It makes sense with her journalism background that she was able to include important history and facts in a digestible way that helped create a clear picture of how policies and different presidential administrations have deeply impacted the lens through which the U.S. views immigration. I personally felt this before, but have a deeper sense and understanding now, on how badly we need immigration reform.
