There are an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Every one of their stories is different and the broad strokes coverage you often hear can’t possibly touch on everyone’s reality. So Alix Dick and Antero Garcia decided to focus on the story of just one undocumented person - Alix herself. Their new book “The Cost of Being Undocumented: One Woman’s Reckoning with America’s Inhumane Math“ is on bookshelves now. Co-authors Alix Dick and Antero Garcia join The Excerpt to share their journey of discovery of what it means to be undocumented.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to [email protected] Transcript available hereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
