Advance praise from public figures José Andrés, Al Franken, Jonathan Blitzer of The New Yorker, and Russell Moore of Christianity Today. Find the moving stories of American immigrants and their journeys in Ali Noorani’s chronicle.

In an era when immigration on a global scale defines the fears and aspirations of Americans, Crossing Borders presents the complexities of migration through the stories of families fleeing violence and poverty, the government and nongovernmental organizations helping or hindering their progress, and the American communities receiving them. Ali Noorani, who has spent years building bridges between immigrants and their often conservative communities, takes readers on a journey to Honduras, Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, and Texas, meeting migrants and the organizations and people that help them on both sides of the border. He reports from the inside on why families make the heart-wrenching decision to leave home. Going beyond the polemical, partisan debate, Noorani offers sensitive insights and real solutions. Crossing Borders will appeal to a broad audience of concerned citizens across the political spectrum, faith communities, policymakers, and immigrants themselves.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A new book on immigration appeals to Americans’ hearts. A book by Ali Noorani, president & CEO of the National Immigration Forum, uses stories, history and the unsettling present to convince Americans that enacting humane immigration reform would be in line with the best traditions of America.... Nearly everything Ali Noorani writes about in his new book describes a place he visited personally, giving the book a journalistic sensibility and the benefit of a longtime observer’s touch.

― Forbes

The anecdotes that may most pique the interest of Harvard Business Review readers appear in Crossing Borders by Ali Noorani. One details how the Idaho dairy industry, originally built by Dutch settlers, thrives today thanks to Latino workers and the yogurt company Chobani, founded by the Turkish-born Hamdi Ulukaya. As a result, dairy owners are partnering with the company and local labor groups to lobby for laws that will make it easier to gain legal entry to and citizenship in the United States. Noorani shows how a similar scenario played out in an Iowa pork-processing town and how immigrant medical and food workers carried the country and its businesses through the worst of the pandemic.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to understand how we got here and how we can do better with immigration, READ THIS BOOK!

Crossing Borders gave me a broader understanding of our immigration policies and politics beyond what the media reports in the headlines. It is not simply a question of security. It's about restoring dignity to the immigrant and the United States as a country that is willing and able to help those who need refuge. You'll want to read this book if you want to know how our immigration law got here and what we can do next to fix a broken system.

Ali Noorani argues a critical issue based on solid research, a critical analysis of policy and compelling, first hand story-telling. If only we could all push through the divisive rhetoric to consider what's really happening in cities across the United States. Crossing Borders is indispensable for recovering who we are as a nation. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Go past the latest crisis
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022
There is almost always a refugee or migrant crisis in the news. Some of it is sensationalized and other times crisis go overlooked. Noorani digs deeper into some of the fundamental dynamics shaping our world today and some of the greatest challenges we will face.

I can recommend this book to anyone but if you just so happen to be a member of congress PLEASE by this book and then get going on fixing our immigration system.
