Summary:

In Aftermath, immigration and deport expert Daniel Kanstroom reveals the rarely-discussed effects of deportation under the United States' current system: the actual effects on individuals, families, U.S. communities, and the countries that must process and repatriate ever-increasing numbers of U.S. deportees. Addressing a wide range of political, social, and legal issues, Kanstroom considers whether our deportation system 'works' in any meaningful sense.
