Living on the edge of the law

This book is based primarily on in-depth, qualitative interviews to study citizenship experiences within the everyday lives of undocumented 1.5 Mexican immigrants in the metropolitan Phoenix area. I also interviewed a small number of naturalized 1.5 generation Mexicans and those who are in-between legal status. These study participants are living under immigrant restrictionist laws that criminalize some of their everyday activities such as speaking a language other than English.
