review: Editorial Reviews Review "The idea for the book was conceived by two immigration lawyers, Laura Danielson and Stephen Yale-Loehr, as a way to share the incredible stories of faith, hope and struggle that they witnessed in their clients. It was also to serve as a counterpoint to an increasingly acrimonious debate about immigration in the United States." - Stephanie Siek, CNN "Immigrants are a critical source of America's spirit and strength. The haters and nativists have always been wrong and this book—person by person, story by story—shows how wrong they are today. Green Card Stories is an important resource for anyone who wants to know the truth about the enormous contributions immigrants make to this country, every day." —Steven V. Roberts, author of From Every End of This Earth: 13 Families and the New Lives They Made in America "To listen to the humble voices of the individuals whose life journeys are recounted in Green Card Stories is to be reminded that beneath all the statistics, studies, and rhetoric about U.S. immigration, lie inspiring human stories." —Louis Caldera, former U.S. Secretary of the Army, son of Mexican immigrants About the Author ARIANA LINDQUIST is a documentary photographer based in Kunming, China and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
