"Eileen Truax has given us an evocative and human portrait of the so-called immigration crisis, bringing together gripping firsthand narratives of refugees with an incisive analysis of America's broken asylum policy. With attention to lives that have been put in jeopardy by Mexican and American governments alike, We Built the Wall is the book we need in this time of rising nationalisms--a must-read clarion call for empathy across borders in the age of Trump."
--Ali Noorani, Executive Director, National Immigration Forum, and the author of There Goes the Neighborhood: How Communities Overcome Prejudice and Meet the Challenge of American Immigration
