On April 20, 2006, Latinos in North Carolina joined thousands of people in an organized march to show support for comprehensive immigration reform being considered in Congress. When federal immigration reform failed at the end of 2006, the public was left with the realization that the U.S. immigration system has no clear plan for dealing with undocumented immigrants. To understand how demographic change is affecting North Carolina communities, this book has three goals: (1) to create a bigger picture of the transnational processes that involved migration; (2) to present the stories of Latinos in North Carolina; and (3) to consider the consequences of how native communities respond to demographic change.
