Victor Romero (Penn State) just released Everyday Law for Immigrants. Download flyer_for_everylaw_for_immigrants_112008.pdf. Everyday Law for Immigrants is an ideal guide for U.S. citizens who want a better understanding of our immigration laws as well as for migrants who make the United States their home. Romero deftly and comprehensively explains the basic challenges immigrants and foreign nationals face not only within formal immigration policy but also within American domestic law generally.
