![]() ![]() The fiscal benefits of immigration – which are enormous – are a boon to the economies of nations that accept them. This Land Is Our Land is an unapologetic, angry manifesto supporting the rights of migrants to move. What’s the price-tag of reparations? What’s the cost of colonialism? The book is a relentless source of data which unpacks and refutes the thoroughly untrue arguments driving white panic about refugees.īut it’s more than simply another report on the refugee crisis (of which, to be frank, there can never be too many). The book is an invaluable reference aid, compiling rich data and statistics on every angle of the refugee crisis – from the crime rates of undocumented migrants (less prone to crime than American-born citizens) to the dollar value of their contribution to the economy (trillions of dollars in the US alone). A stirring manifesto for immigrant rights, it’s also much more. Suketu Mehta’s This Land Is Our Land: An Immigrant’s Manifesto is a book truly worthy of its sub-title. ![]()
