These seven books draw you into the global story of human migration using artistic styles that you won't normally find in traditional non-fiction books and articles.
I can recommend the graphic novel The Most Costly Journey (aka El Viaje Más Caro) published by the Vermont Folklife Center. It presents a wonderful variety of true stories about migrant workers and their personal journeys and is available in both English and Spanish.
For a fascinating historic perspective, I like: Ringside Seat to a Revolution: An Underground Cultural History of El Paso and Juarez: 1893-1923, by David Dorado Romo.
These suggestions all look worth pursuing and I thank Austin Kocher for recommending them. The links, however, led to “not found” pages on Amazon. But what I really find bewildering is that Kocher linked to Amazon at all, considering they are widely known as perhaps the biggest profiteer in the deportation industrial complex, both handing over personal data to ICE and co-owning an airline used to deport often shackled immigrants.

Oh wow! I love this! I am absolutely adding this to my library.

thanks for an at-home seminar on immigration. I'd add "The Devil's Highway" by Luis Alberto Urrea. I applaud the idea of "public scholarship!"
Here’s my favorite: The Line becomes a river by Francisco Cantú.

Looooove that book, really good.
Don't forget Bryan Caplan's graphic novel.
