Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the roots of today’s immigration debate—and what it will take to fix it. Step behind the headlines and into the heart of America’s immigration debate with Deconstructed—the definitive account of how the U.S. turned immigration into a crisis, and how we can chart a path forward. Through the eyes of Stan Marek, a third-generation construction executive and tireless advocate for sensible immigration reform, Deconstructed reveals how decades of policy failures have reshaped not just the construction industry, but the American workforce itself. From the bustling jobsites of Houston to the halls of Congress, this book traces the real-world impact of laws that forced millions into the shadows—hurting workers, businesses, and the broader economy. Follow the Marek family’s journey from Czech immigrants seeking a better life in Texas to builders of one of the Southwest’s largest specialty contractors. Their story mirrors the evolution of America’s immigration system—from the open arms of Ellis Island to the complex, often contradictory rules that define today’s debate. Through personal anecdotes and historical insight, Deconstructed brings to life the people behind the policies. Deconstructed doesn’t just recount how immigration became “illegal”—it challenges the myths that fuel division and offers a pragmatic blueprint for reform. Learn why the labor shortages in construction and other industries can’t be solved by politics as usual, and how bringing workers out of the shadows benefits everyone—from the jobsite to Main Street.

Essay from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1.0, Humboldt-University of Berlin (Amerikanistik und Anglistik), course: Postmodern Cinema, language: English, abstract: In this self-study journal I aim to collect some comparative and inter-medial ideas on how illusion - here defined as different perspectives on reality in the arts - is reflected within the media of film, painting and literature. The perception of reality (especially in the medium of film) remains up to the present moment a controversial, and still largely unexplored topic in the fields of philosophy, neuroscience and film theory; therefore the intent of this 'self-study journal' is to focus on a small selection of examples of modern and postmodern film, literature and the visual arts (photography and painting). As well, I will explore a few selected quotations from manifestos in the tradition of early 20th century avant-garde and also will make brief reference to earlier periods. When we accept the 'reality' that is shown to us in the movies, we are giving ourselves over to the illusion of cinema, that is being created by talented cast and crew in the production and carefully honed in post-production by skillful editing. The power of the illusion in cinema is to take us for the time being into another world, and ideally we forget for the moment that we are still sitting in a dark room with a large screen. In the medium of literature our imagination takes control of the world presented by the author's words and is translated into a uniquely imagined reality that is created by the readers own imagination and recollection of memories. Like in the cinema, if a book grabs us we tend to forget our presence in the ('real') world for the time reading the book.
