“Darkroom: A Memoir in Black and White is remarkable for its truth-telling about two important issues concerning Alabama's past and present: the civil rights movement and immigration. These stories, rendered through the words and eyes of a young Latina girl who came from Argentina to Marion, Alabama, are made vivid and immediate through Weaver's highly accessible drawings and dialogue. This is a book-about maturation, family, education, and social change-every schoolchild, parent, and citizen should experience.” ShouldMadeTwoImportantBookStoriesEyePastYoungGirlSocialParentBlackWhiteIssuesRightsMovementCitizensDrawingImmigrationMemoirDialogueCivil RightsTelling The TruthRemarkableBlack And WhiteSocial ChangeVividCivil Rights MovementAlabamaPast And PresentArgentinaImportant IssuesLatinaWeaversThis Is A BookDarkroomFamily Education Author:Sena Jeter Naslund
“I would just say it's not good for the country to have 11 million people here who we don't know who they are, where they're living. They're not paying taxes, but they're showing up in emergency rooms. They're driving up the cost of auto insurance 'cause they don't have driver's licenses and are getting into accidents. They're having children, which are US citizens. So, I mean, it's an issue that needs to be dealt with.” PeopleKnowsNeedsMeanChildrenCountryCausesRoomsMillionsIssuesCitizensCostTaxesAccidentsDrivingImmigrationDriversEmergenciesLicenseShowing UpHaving ChildrenIllegal ImmigrationPaying TaxesEmergency RoomLicenses Author:Marco Rubio

“The New Deal never rethought the draconian racist immigration restriction policies of the 20s, of course, but its electoral base rested significantly on "ethnic" voters, whose activism was both hemmed in and rewarded by the Democrats. Southern and Eastern Europeans were included as secondary leaders of the new industrial unions, and as entitled citizens qualified for social security, unemployment compensation, and fair labor standards protections, even as workers of color were largely left out of key areas of the welfare state.” StatesCoursesLeftSocialDealsLeaderSecurityPolicyColorKeysCitizensStandardsAreasFairsLaborUnionsDemocratWorkersProtectionActivismImmigrationWelfareRacistVotersSouthernEntitledUnemploymentEasternSocial SecurityQualifiedCompensationRestrictionLeft OutWelfare StateNew DealDraconian Author:David Roediger
“ISIS is a radical jihadist group that is increasingly sophisticated in its ability, for example, to radicalize American citizens, in its inability to exploit loopholes in our legal immigration system, in its ability to capture and hold territory in the Middle East, as I outlined earlier, in multiple countries.” CountryAbilityGroupsMiddleExampleCitizensEastImmigrationRadicalTerritoryCaptureMiddle EastMultipleSophisticatedInabilityExploitsAmerican CitizensLoopholesLegal Immigration Author:Marco Rubio
