Alfredo Gutierrez s father, a US citizen, was deported to Mexico from his Arizona hometown, the mining town where Alfredo grew up. This occurred during a wave of anti-immigrant hysteria stoked by the Great Depression, but as Gutierrez makes clear, in a book that is both a personal chronicle and a thought-provoking history, the war on Mexican immigrants has rarely abated. Barack Obama now presides over an immigration policy every inch the equal of Herbert Hoovers in its harshness.

Alfredo Gutierrez helped found the national Chicano student organization MEChA. He was elected to the state senate at the age of twenty-five and served as both majority and minority leader. After losing his bid for governor of Arizona in 2002, he began hosting a popular radio show and is also Editor of LaFronteraTimes.com.
