Every year, hundreds of thousands of people arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking safety and prosperity. Weaving together the stories of Central Americans whose lives have been devastated by chronic political conflict with those of American activists, government officials, and politicians, best-selling author and New Yorker writer Jonathan Blitzer illuminates the country’s immigration crisis. Join us as Blitzer dives into this vital and remarkable story, as told in his newest book Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here, that has shaped the nation’s politics and culture — and will almost certainly determine its future.
