Streamlined Alien Nation Download + 2 Missing Pages

Since June, we've been making available a free pdf download of my 1995 book Alien Nation: Common Sense About America's Immigration Disaster. A kind reader has pointed out that the pdf file could be streamlined considerably for faster dowloading, which we have now done.

Another kind reader has pointed out that pages 123 and 124 were missed by the scanners we employed. (Grrr!) This has been corrected in the streamlined version.

Pablo Bachelet and Casey Woods write:

Just under half of this ''new states'' group say they will leave the United States in five years, compared with two-thirds of those in the traditional states. Bendixen said previous polls showed only about 15 percent of Latinos planned to return to their home countries.

Both GonzĂˇlez and Raimundo said they are sick of the constant fear and the crushing days of waiting for work and are among those who are considering heading home.
