Grade 8 Up—An overview makes the point that the rules governing immigration issues such as indefinite detention and the right to an attorney have been tightened since 9/11. The debate centers around the question of whether these changes are necessary for the safety of U.S. citizens, or whether they infringe on the civil liberties that are afforded to all American residents, legal or not. Case studies, recently enacted laws such as the Patriot Act, and statistics illustrate each viewpoint. A listing of relevant cases and statutes helps to create a total picture of the subject. This solid work thoroughly presents both sides of the argument.—Margaret Auguste, Franklin Middle School, Somerset, NJ
