Product Description
Heather Mac Donald describes how an epidemic of crime, gangs, and illegitimacy is creating a new Hispanic underclass, and how the Mexican government aids and abets illegal immigration to the United States and thwarts state and local attempts to resist it. Steven Malanga shows how, despite much argument to the contrary, Hispanic immigrants produce a net cost to the American economy, not a net benefit, and he goes on to outline the kind of immigration policy that would be both liberal and in America's interest. Victor Davis Hanson writes about his own experience growing up in California's farm country and watching the Hispanic immigrant influx transform his state for the worse. The Immigration Solution proposes the same kind of policy in place in other advanced nations, one that admits skilled and educated people on the basis of what they can do for the country, not what the country can do for them. |

liberal...definetly not 
this book claims to be a liberal look at the immigration problem. there are no hard facts, the authors are biased and a bit racist. they claim that the Hispanic community is plaguing America. this book is not liberal, maybe ignorant liberal but that's it. waste of time.

The Illegal Immigration Crisis is Almost Out of Control 
In the introduction of this well argued collection of essays, Myron Magnet points out how the illegal immigrant advocates engage in an Orwellian misuse of language. They describe themselves as "pro-immigration" and not defenders of law breaking. The Late Milton Friedman warned, "that you can't have free immigration and a welfare state." Rarely, if ever, in our nation's past did immigrants receive welfare benefits. Illegitimacy rates were low and the newest residents desperately attempted to improve their lot in life. Today's illegal immigrants, especially within the Hispanic community, are often anti-intellectual and hostile towards the very idea of assimilating into the wider American community. A dangerous permanent underclass is turning many of our cities and towns into dystopian hell holes. Many well meaning people are so intimidated by the false charge of racism and "nativism" that they prefer to pretend the problem really doesn't exist. The intellectual virus of political correctness regretfully dominates the discussion. Rational and dispassionate dialogue is often near impossible. Sadly, many Hispanic citizens are also guilt tripped into believing they owe something to these illegal residents. The situation is only getting worse. Time may not be on our side. We obviously are not going to shoot and mistreat the illegals. It is best that we instead find realistic solutions to resolve the crisis. This book offers some excellent recommendations.
The MSM hides the brutal truth from the American people. Few realize that the Mexican government, for instance, hypocritically encourages its own citizens to enter our country illegally---while it treats its own illegal immigrants like subhuman creatures. This is a relatively short book of only 183 pages and an index. It is perhaps the best book available for those who desire to acquire a better understanding of this issue in a relatively short period of time. You need to especially read The Immigration Solution before voting in November.

Campaign to send a copy of the book to every Politician and Lawmaker!!
Let us all start a campaign to send a copy of this book to every Politician and Lawmaker to make sure that they read this and understand how deeply the people in general care about issue of illegal immigration.
It seems all the politicians are out of touch with reality, either because they are too arrogant or just corrupt and have been bought out by the corporate world.
By getting a copy of this book from there constituent, there is a possibility that they may read it and have some understanding of the challenges people face and hopefully we can force them to not grant Amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants here.

A book recommended for both high school and college-level classroom debate.
Three observers of modern immigration issues and border control debates offer their own analysis of how current policies have led to a loss of control of our borders in THE IMMIGRATION SOLUTION, a description of a new form of Hispanic underclass and the Mexican government's involvement in abetting illegal immigration to the U.S. Chapters consider the growing impact of Hispanic immigrants on the American economy, and outline policies for positive change in a book recommended for both high school and college-level classroom debate.

Covers many bases. Packed with facts.
Absolutely first rate. This is a collection of essays from three authors. In a trim 183 pages they cover economics, education, health care, effects on society, and much more. Its strength is the descriptive prose of its authors. Great background reading for anyone whose state or community is grappling with changing its laws to adjust for the presence of many illegal immigrants.
Author Malanga gives a broad historical view. Heather Mac Donald, the volume's prime contributor, offers lively descriptions with highly fascinating details of topics like schools, gangs, and the actions of Mexican diplomats. Professor Hanson describes how his neighborhood has changed in recent years, offering telling incidents from his personal experience.
The title's "Solution" is a tad misleading. You are five pages from the end when you move from description of the problem on to an outline of a solution. But in admirable style, Malanga zips out a series of practical measures.
Occasionally one wishes for tighter editing. "This year" on p. 54 refers to 2006. A reference to the Hagel-Martinez Senate bill on p. 63 probably needed no elaboration when it was written. Today it leads to one to a distracting diversion into the dustbin of recent amnesty attempts.
The authors deserve high praise for covering the topic from a holistic view, for avoiding the hysterical focus on the border of activists with a narrow view, and for raising concerns without fear mongering. Five stars.
