This collection is a culmination of a variety of topics addressing the immigrant experience in the United States. Topics in discussion include the right to an education for an immigrant child, changes in laws and policy that create barriers, and the rise of social media to lessen hostility towards immigrants, as well as increase the transparency between perception and treatment of immigrants. The first story, written by David L. Kirp, describes the work of a nonprofit school organization, Internationals Network for Public Schools, and their approach in combating discriminatory practices of the public school system. Their approach is met through inclusivity, emersion, and collaboration, as students are taught in English, even if they may not understand right away. This approach has been found to create a deeper learning, in that "their students outperformed peers on international exams in reading, math and science. They were also likelier to graduate on time and to enroll in four-year institutions, and were more motivated and better at working together". The second article describes a growing number of cities that have implemented identification programs for their immigrant population. These kinds of programs can help an immigrant populations' everyday living become much more accessible, in opening a bank account, cashing checks, applying for housing, and applying for jobs, too. The last story describes rapid response networks being created around the country, in hopes to provide sanctuary in a emergency situation. These networks are community-led, involving a program that sends out texts to volunteers who arrive at a detaining, and take notes and videos of the situation. 

The solutions described through these stories overall give me hope that society will continue to make an effort in aiding the immigration population and become a little more selfless in their actions. The first story highlights New York, a continuous gateway, which is becoming a more welcoming network in regards to their schooling system. I believe that overall, there exists no reasonable opposition for the work being done by this network, as the students are proven to succeed at even a faster rate than US-born students. The second story is also hopeful in that it would allow immigrants to become independent and much more productive once eradicating a fear of identification or lack-of. The opposition I believe this may face would be from a group of people who may be worried about fraud or misidentification, which would not even take place in context. Finally, the third story highlights San Francisco, an emerging gateway that holds s big population of immigrants. The solution offered in this story clearly shows the solidarity that their community holds, as well as the extra mile that neighbors are willing to go for the well being of their immigrant community members. Overall, the solutions here are practical and offer a sense of hope for the policies that can be shaped into our future.
