Invisible America: The Hidden Stories Behind the Headlines
The fall of 2016 changed everything. Standing at the feet of the Statue of Liberty the day after Trump's election, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio decided it was time to write the book she'd been avoiding since Harvard-not the pitiful immigrant narrative publishers wanted, but something truer. Something that saw undocumented Americans as more than just laborers or dreamers. The result became "The Undocumented Americans," focusing not on inspirational stories but on day laborers, housekeepers, and construction workers-the people underground. "Not heroes," she writes. "Randoms. Characters." These are the stories of America's shadow workforce-people who clean our homes, build our cities, and care for our children, yet remain invisible in our national conversation. Their experiences reveal a parallel America where survival requires creativity, community, and courage in the face of a system designed to exploit rather than embrace them.
