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. Maeve Higgins, an Irish immigrant who overstayed her tourist visa to work as a nanny in New York, says she never faced the immigration backlash or fear of deportation many undocumented immigrants experience. Now a comedian working legally in the U.S., Higgins writes about her experiences in a new book called “The Good Immigrant.”
