 examination of Mexican immigration to the U.S., both legal and illegal.” 
 —Kirkus Reviews \n\n“David Bacon’s book, The Right To Stay Home is a 
 must read for organizers, immigrant advocates, …and citizens who care 
 about our history and values as a nation. This book puts a human face on 
 the immigration debate, its impact on people on both sides of the border, 
 and the indispensable elements of real comprehensive immigration 
 reform—who got us into this mess, and what we need to do to fix it.” 
 — Eliseo Medina, International Secretary of the Service Employees 
 International Union, former vice-president of the United Farm 
 Workers\n\nMore than 25 years since the last significant revision of 
 national immigration policy, comprehensive reform is finally being debated 
 in Congress, offering the promise of a path to citizenship for the 11 
 million undocumented immigrants currently living and working in the U.S. 
 However, until such reform is official, those millions of workers are 
 “illegal” people, denied basic rights in the country in which they have 
 lived for years.  \n\nNow investigative reporter and labor activist David 
 Bacon  - in his brilliant new book “The Right To Stay Home: How U.S. 
 Policy Drives Mexican Migration – reveals how globalization and U.S. 
 policy propel the forces that drive Mexican migrants across the border. 
 Through his own analysis and migrants’ dramatic stories in their own 
 voices, Bacon proves the decision to migrate is rarely voluntary. He 
 demonstrates exactly how indigenous communities across Mexico struggle with 
 the brutal human cost of globalization, and then must cope with the U.S. 
 criminalizing of migrants driven from their homelands. \n\n“Combining 
 evocative personal narratives with penetrating geopolitical analysis, this 
 compelling book vividly reveals the devastating effects on Mexico of the 
 global class war of the past decades, and their impact on the United 
 States. Perhaps the most striking demand of the victims is ‘the right to 
 not migrate,’ the right to live with dignity and hope, bitterly attacked 
 under the neoliberal version of globalization.”      — Noam Chomsky\n   
  \nAward-winning photojournalist and author David Bacon spent twenty years

 Coalition for Immigrant Rights and the Labor Immigrant Organizers Network.
