Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the roots of today's immigration debate--and what it will take to fix it. Step behind the headlines and into the heart of America's immigration debate with Deconstructed--the definitive account of how the U.S. turned immigration into a crisis, and how we can chart a path forward. Through the eyes of Stan Marek, a third-generation construction executive and tireless advocate for sensible immigration reform, Deconstructed reveals how decades of policy failures have reshaped not just the construction industry, but the American workforce itself. From the bustling jobsites of Houston to the halls of Congress, this book traces the real-world impact of laws that forced millions into the shadows--hurting workers, businesses, and the broader economy. Follow the Marek family's journey from Czech immigrants seeking a better life in Texas to builders of one of the Southwest's largest specialty contractors. Their story mirrors the evolution of America's immigration system--from the open arms of Ellis Island to the complex, often contradictory rules that define today's debate. Through personal anecdotes and historical insight, Deconstructed brings to life the people behind the policies. Deconstructed doesn't just recount how immigration became "illegal"--it challenges the myths that fuel division and offers a pragmatic blueprint for reform. Learn why the labor shortages in construction and other industries can't be solved by politics as usual, and how bringing workers out of the shadows benefits everyone--from the jobsite to Main Street. &nbsp. …
