This is a review of a book written by Darrell Ankarlo entitled, "Illegals: The Unacceptable Cost of America's Failure To Control Its Borders". I received this book to review free of charge from BookSneeze.

This book is an eye-opening narrative about the impact that the lack of border security is having on the American economy. Darrell Ankarlo, a talk show host, pens his interesting journey into the daily occurrences at the US-Mexico border. The perspectives of US citizens, Mexican illegal immigrants, Mexican citizens, US Border Patrol agents, militia men and coyotes are presented. The sheer number of people attempting to cross the US-Mexico border on a daily basis was astounding to me. There are numerous pictures of items left behind by border crossers and the perils of the desert areas between the United States and Mexico are clearly presented. An effort is also made to present the differences in the standards of living afforded to most US versus Mexican citizens in each country. This was particularly interesting because in the US we have a wealth of opportunity and access to lifechanging resources. This book was a disturbing read, but one that everyone should take the time to read. Mr. Ankarlo should be commended for taking the time to investigate this problem.
