I'm really enjoying this book. It's a very honest account of what it's like to be undocumented in the U.S.
Have you heard of the 1946 Rescission act? During WW2, Filipino citizens were promised $3 billion in direct benefits for helping thr U.S. fight Japan. In 1946, however, Truman signed a bill that rescinded those benefits and paid a lump sum of $200 billion to the Filipino government instead. I never learned about this in school.
