Irish Immigrant: How Undocumented Immigrants Experience America Depends on Skin Tone

March 23, 2019

How undocumented immigrants in America are treated often depends on the color of their skin.

Now a comedian working legally in the U.S., Higgins writes about her experiences in a new book called “The Good Immigrant.”
