Grades 5-8 In this clearly written installment in the Crossing the Border series (6 titles), Small provides detailed information about deportation and traces the history of immigration in our country. Examples of some mass deportations are listed as well as the acts and laws that allowed those deportations to take place. Readers will learn how deportation works and how groups have been targeted in the past. Discussion of the process includes steps for filing for an appeal and immigrants' rights as well as accounts from people whose families have been or are at risk of being deported. DACA, current immigration laws, and statistics also are included. With well-organized, chronological information as well as a glossary, index, and lists of related books and websites, this title is ideal for students researching immigration and deportation.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
