Editorial Review: Product Description: Not since the Civil War has America been so divided over such a seemingly unsolvable issue as U.S. immigration policy. The president and congress are at an impasse, while vigilante groups patrol our nation's borders looking for one of the million yearly invaders. Why are 20 million people disregarding America's sovereign borders and laws to come to this country? Popular radio host Darrell Ankarlo follows the lives of several Mexican citizens as they contemplate their existence south of the border, their temptation to sneak into America, and what waits for them here. To understand the issue first-hand, Ankarlo stared down gun barrels, was caught in the middle of a drug-lord showdown, and then wandered the Arizona desert after illegally sneaking back into America. Another Man's Sombrero explores issues raised by these personal stories and offers perspectives-often contradictory-from U.S. citizens. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great information, and a great read.I have always liked reading political books and I have always like reading story books and fiction. This book is fantastic because it is like a story that gives facts. And these facts are important for any person living near the border to know. He presents these facts in a way that is easy to understand and is highly entertaining. It not only shows what it is like to cross the border but many other things on the way. These are good facts that would be hard to learn otherwise. Overall I think anyone, ... Read More Rating: - An eye opener about immigration problems.Darrell Ankarlo is very insightful and fair when dealing with the immigration issue, and this book demonstrates that. Instead of just preaching about the harms of illegal immigration, he places himself in the shoes of an illegal immigrant by traveling to various parts of Mexico's border towns. During his time there, he meets up with all sorts of people involved in the border crossing trade and tells some very memorable stories. If you are looking for a clear view of how dangerous illegal immigration ... Read More Rating: - Vivid, true and tragic . . . but only half of a complex storyIf you live by "scorched earth journalism" -- then you must expect to be burned every now and then. Ankarlo has certainly been "burned" by some on account of this book, but he lives on the premise the "hotter" the flame the more listeners attracted to his KTAR radio talk show. Perhaps it's why KTAR accepted $11,000 in government money to use this book to promote incumbent Republican County Attorney Andrew 'Candy' Thomas. It is a powerful indictment of illegal immigration, ... Read More Rating: - Way to go brother!This is a must read for those sitting on the fence regarding illegal immigration. Ankarlo gives a firsthand accounting of what is it like to simply walk across the border into the US. He then goes on to provide details and statistics on the real price of illegal immigration. This book is a wake-up call. True, I do wish he had expanded more on his time in Mexico and the crossings. Ankarlo definitely could have given us more information here. Lucky for me, I was one of ones who got it first hand on the radio. ... Read More Rating:  - Very insightful book.I have just finished reading Mr. Ankarlo's "Another Man's Sombrero". This book is a very insightful look into the attack on our sovereignty as a nation from the illegal immigrant (let me repeat: illegal). The first half of the book are stories from the author's personal trips on both sides of the border seeking the "inside" story on illegal immigration. Some of these accounts are heart-breaking, while others are outright scary! The last half of the book is a look into some eye-opening statistics, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
