Summary
This report is the second in a Center for American Progress series that looks at the daily lives, struggles, and strategies of undocumented immigrants who must live through the assault of harsh laws designed to make their lives unbearable. Throughout 2012 we will release reports that lift the veil on our nation's undocumented, providing a window into the lives of the 11 million who live in the United States without papers and how our nation's immigration policies impact us all-documented or not.
