Prof. Gonzales speaks about his new book, Lives in Limbo, Undocumented and Coming of Age in America,(UC Press, Berkeley), which examines the political history of US attitudes towards children born in the US to undocumented immigrants as well as their personal lives spent in political limbo. Gonzales comments on implications of xenophobia generated by Republican candidates, pushed by Donald Trump and lack of discussion by either Clinton or Sanders in their debates. He speaks about the contradictions and conflicts in Obama's efforts and private prisons used to house immigrants whose only crime is not having documents.
