In the United States, the debate over immigration is often framed in terms of statistics and policy. But behind the numbers are real people, with real stories to tell. In her powerful new book, Every Day We Get More Illegal, author Sarah Stillman tells the story of one such family, the Gonzalezes. For more than a decade, the Gonzalezes have lived in the United States as undocumented immigrants. They have worked hard, paid taxes, and raised their children. But every day, they live with the fear of being deported.

The Gonzalez Family

The Gonzalezes are from Mexico. They came to the United States in search of a better life. They found work in California, where they have raised their three children. The children are all American citizens. They go to school, play sports, and dream of the future. But their parents live in fear. They know that if they are deported, they will be separated from their children. And they know that deportation could happen at any time.

The Immigration Debate

The Gonzalezes' story is a reminder that the immigration debate is not just about numbers. It is about real people, with real lives. These are people who have come to the United States in search of a better life. They are people who work hard, pay taxes, and raise their families. They are people who are contributing to our society. And they are people who live in fear of being deported.

The immigration debate is often framed in terms of security and economics. But it is also about human rights. The United States is a nation of immigrants. We are a country that has been built by people who have come here from all over the world. We are a country that has always welcomed newcomers. But today, our immigration policies are making it harder for people to come to the United States. And they are making it harder for undocumented immigrants to live here.

The Power of the Human Spirit

The Gonzalezes' story is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Despite the challenges they face, they have never given up hope. They have continued to work hard, raise their children, and contribute to their community. They are an inspiration to us all.

Every Day We Get More Illegal is a must-read for anyone who cares about the human cost of our immigration policies. It is a powerful and moving account of one family's struggle to find a place in the United States. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
