      By Chavez, Leo R. (Leo Ralph)
       [2017]., Stanford Briefs, an imprint of Stanford University Press Call No: 325.73 CHA    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "[This book] explores the question of birthright citizenship, and of citizenship in the United States writ broadly, as [the author] counters the often hyperbolic claims surrounding these so-called anchor babies. [The author] considers how the term is used as a political dog whistle, how changes in the legal definition of citizenship have affected the children of immigrants over time, and, ultimately, how U.S.-born citizens still experience trauma if they live in families with undocumented immigrants"--Provided by publisher.

       2007., Random House Trade Paperbacks Call No: HI-INT B NAZ    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: Based on the Los Angeles Times series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, this is a timeless story of families torn apart. When Enrique was five, his mother, too poor to feed her children, left Honduras to work in the United States. The move allowed her to send money back home so Enrique could eat better and go to school past the third grade. She promised she would return quickly, but she struggled in America. Without her, he became lonely and troubled. After eleven years, he decided he would go find her. He set off alone, with little more than a slip of paper bearing his mother's North Carolina telephone number. Without money, he made the dangerous trek up the length of Mexico, clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains. He and other migrants, many of them children, are hunted like animals. To evade bandits and authorities, they must jump onto and off the moving boxcars they call the Train of Death. It is an epic journey, one thousands of children make each year to find their mothers in the United States.--From publisher description.
