With one immigrant's story, two authors analyze America's immigration system and suggest better, more human policies.
“The Accidental American” calls for a bold new approach to immigration: a free international flow of labor to match globalization's free flow of capital.

Despite the best efforts of educators, our nation's schools are dangerously obsolete. Instead of teaching students to be critical thinkers and problem-solvers, we are asking them to memorize facts for multiple choice tests. This problem isn't limited to low-income school districts: even our top schools aren't teaching or testing the skills that matter most in the global knowledge economy. Our teens leave school equipped to work only in the kinds of...

Every day, the news delivers the same story: as a nation, we are so divided, we spend more time picking fights than solving our most urgent problems. It's exhausting and exasperating.

Almost everyone shies away from advocacy as a way to make a difference. We donate to climate change organizations, but we don't meet with a member of Congress or write a letter to the editor. We donate to groups working to end gun violence, anti-hunger organizations, groups dedicated to racial justice, and many others, but we don't become advocates on those issues beyond signing an online petition or going to an occasional rally.
Why? Because most...

Most of the leaders in any kind of leadership role would always complain that their decisions that have been miscalculated and resulted in loss of time and material for the organization are because of wrong advice or incomplete information.
