Aviva Chomsky, Immigrants, and such





Browsing through the books at my alma mater, I noticed the book
"They Take Our Jobs" and 20 other myths about immigration by Aviva Chomsky. Sounds like a book we should all read, especially you over at CNN. As reviewed in Colorlines Magazine:



Review By: Daisy Hernandez, ColorLines - July 1, 2007
“If ever there was a need for a pithy primer on immigration, it’s now, and scholar-activist Aviva Chomsky has provided just that. She considers myths from the book’s title, “immigrants don’t pay taxes” and then gracefully and in plain language delivers arguments with lessons on history, law and racism. In other words, this is the book to give your xenophobic mother-in-law at the next family barbecue.”
