“Just as America owes the undocumented an enormous debt, we are forever indebted to Alix Dick and Antero Garcia for writing this powerful, moving, and brave account.”
—Reece Jones, author of White Borders
“Straightforward and unflinching, The Cost of Being Undocumented expertly weaves together Alix’s specific story with relevant research to expose systemic hypocrisies and offer a clarion call to build a society that recognizes the full humanity and dignity of every individual.”
—Randy Ribay, author of Patron Saints of Nothing
“In a time of rising xenophobia, Alix Dick courageously shares her story—her fears and her dreams, her struggles, her determination, and her heart. The Cost of Being Undocumented is a deeply intimate accounting of the economic, mental, and physical toll of living as an undocumented person in the United States. Dick and Garcia’s words challenge readers to understand one woman’s journey—the violence that pushed her to seek safety in a new land, the exploitation she endured as an undocumented person in the US, and her ceaseless perseverance to care for those she loves.”
—Jessica Lander, author of Making Americans: Stories of Historic Struggles, New Ideas, and Inspiration in Immigrant Education
