‘Deconstructed:’ Coming soon in paperback

When Joe Biden won the presidential election, about a month after the release of Deconstructed: An Insider’s View of Illegal Immigration and the Building Trades, hopes ran high that long-awaited immigration reform legislation might finally arrive this year. 

That, of course, hasn’t happened. In fact, the political divide remains as intractable as ever. Lawmakers seem determined to avoid solutions, regardless of public sentiment. Our elected officials insist on hiding behind a wall of denial when it comes to immigration issues. 

My co-author, Stan Marek, a Houston business owner who’s has been fighting for reform for almost 20 years, has been increasingly concerned that the opportunity to bring rationality to our immigration policy could once again be slipping away. 

That’s why we’ve decided to put out an updated version of Deconstructed next year. It will be a paperback release, but it will have new material that will bring the immigration story through the pandemic, the final days of the Trump administration, and the promise and pitfall of the Biden administration’s efforts. 

Stan and I are already working on the new material, and I think you’ll find it’s a great update to the book. Look for it in bookstores and online in late spring 2022.
