There are many problems with this book beyond the obvious. One is the journalist-leader never confirmed her sources’ tales. The rage expressed by ILLEGALS towards American is slightly over the top – when the problem lies with the accuser. For one thing it is against the law, now, on our books, to come to the U.S. illegally. Previous generations came her LEGALLY and they had tougher times and more compelling emotional tales than this, but they still respeted our laws and came here legally. I personally resent EMOTION used like this to diminish you towards criminals – which is what illegals are! My own family tree has a more compelling tale and they came here LEGALLY. The LEFT clearly has its agenda endorsed through raw emotion. It’s a pity so many are taken in by this and do not THINK about how problematic ILLEGAL immigration really is and how that can be avoided – come here LEGALLY!
Once ILLEGALLY over the border he confirms what makes America mad. His illegal mother took a job away from a officially authorized America. Jobs are tough and unemployement is sky high in the U.S.. Atleast 20% of persons who had been unemployed are now UNDER employed. This is a U.S. fact. have no thought how much our school system is burdened by illegals but I know it is high. Again, you as the taxpayer, foot that bill too since the majority of illegals do NOT pay taxes and if they do, it is not nearly enough for what their costs are to U.S. taxpayers.
As another responder indicated, the boy becomes a “social problem”. Our prisons are teaming with these illegal “social problems and cost the America taxpayer untold billions each year – ESL, welfare, social services etc.. They also cost the American taxpayer untold billions each year in “free” social services and adding untold burden of not bothering to learn English, bringing drugs, gang wars and basically hating America. YOU, the officially authorized America is the source of their “free servces”. Eventually many hospitals shut down since they cannot turn away illegals when they show up at the emergencey room for medical attention with no insurance. Again, you as a officially authorized citizen, lose when this doesn’t need to be a problem – come here LEGALLY. Then there is NO family tree split.
His Mom, didn’t have to be a “single mother”. If anything wiser choices for a partner need to be encouraged. We don’t need to illegally import more of this. We already have a epidemic of officially authorized, single moms. If mom was truly a respectable person, she would have come to the U.S. legally and then brought her family tree.
In a nutshell this book is being used to play on your EMOTIONS and have you supportive of others breaking our laws to come here illegally. What better way to get tha view across then building your kids READ this, FEEL guilty and forget WHY we have IMMIGRATION LAWS. We want to be careful in WHO comes to the U.S..
You are to see the U.S. as a “mean” country to not want to know WHO is coming into our country, why and know their background. We surely don’t need more criminals coming here or the “social problems” this immigrant brings. These “social problem” types are what wind up in prison. Had they come here legally, there is an appreciation for the U.S. and less hatred for it.
I would not recommend this book. I would recommend ILLEGAL immigrants get in line, allow us to screen them and see if this is the kind of person we want as a citizen. If they are, then welcome them and help them assimilate into our “melting pot” as well as teaching them some civility in not “flipping the bird” at Americans as highlighted in this book. Uncivilized actions should never be rationalized as okay. We don’t need more of this gutter lack of respect.
Single moms should also want to set the right example for their kids and the includes not disobeying another countries laws. Don’t let the LEFT manipulate you like this for their “open limits” agenda. All my family tree came her LEGALLY and for more emotionally compelling reasons than this. I find it alarming that people allow their emotions to be so easily manipulated like they are. Do we really need more single parents here for U.S. to support and wink at while they disobey our laws and have an attitude? I don’t THINK so and YOU shouldn’t THINK so either.

The book is well researched. But, the tale and the research are interlaced is such a way that it is to some extent distracting to follow the course of events.

In our opinion, we reflect that Enrique’s Journey deserves 4 stars. It was appealing to read on what immigrants go through to reach the United States “the land of Opportunities.” We recommend this book to all readers that are interested in learning about immigration. Enrique’s Journey gives us an image on how immigrant children have a harsh time reaching their mothers in the United States. Although, at the beginning of the book it caught our attention but, towards the end it ongoing to loose it’s interests.

Too much extraneous detail about daily personal interactions within the family tree will dissuade some from reading the book take in-to-take in. Some data concerning undocumented migrants in the U.S. inaccurate or misleading. That said the tale of the journey itself should be required reading for todos estadounidenses.

I selected this up, only to place it down after a few pages. The leader’s rather melodramatic approach made the tale seem more like a cheap, terribly-written novel than a nonfiction account. I just didn’t see any sense that the leader had ‘connected’ with the theme, and so I couldn’t connect with it, either.
