Immigration The Line We Draw: How Nations Choose Who Belongs-and Who Doesn't

Immigration: The Lines We Draw is a timely, clear-eyed examination of one of the most polarizing and consequential issues of our time. Written by attorney and strategist Jonathan P. Saunders, this accessible and nonpartisan book strips away the noise to expose how immigration systems function-and often fail-on both sides of the border.

With sharp analysis grounded in law, history, and real-world experience, Saunders takes readers through the mechanics of the U.S. immigration process, including visas, asylum, border enforcement, and citizenship pathways. He also addresses the economic and political pressures driving global migration and the human consequences of policy decisions made in distant capitals.

Rather than advancing a particular ideology, Immigration: The Lines We Draw asks critical questions: Who draws the lines that define borders? Who gets to cross-and who decides? And what principles should guide reform in an era of rising displacement and division?

Whether you're a policymaker, student, legal professional, or concerned citizen, this book provides the knowledge and clarity needed to engage with immigration thoughtfully and constructively.
