In this era of Trumpism, immigrants in this country are isolated and alone. Though most Americans will say it is only illegal immigration that concerns them, the new restrictions on even legal immigration are appalling to many and leaves those recent emigres frightened for their jobs and families. Even for the young "dreamers" who have lived here for years, DACA (Deferred Action for Children Arrivals) remains unsettled.It is worthy of note that all immigrants, even those ancestors of us who were born on this soil, leave their country of origins with "dreams" of starting anew in what they believe are the open arms of the land of the free.Building America: Immigrant Stories of Hope and Hardship examines the stories of some of those immigrants who want to chronicle their or their family's origins in our great country. They want Americans to realize they love this country as much as we do, and maybe appreciate it more due to their personal trials in gaining citizenship and a restart for their family. All of the authors see the richness in the diverse cultures that come here and the special values of hard work, responsibility, and love of family that all seek, regardless from where they come.The authors will donate their royalties to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) - Immigration Division in respect of their fight for individual rights of all people living in the United States of America.
