In the overheated debate about immigration, voices of the immigrants themselves are seldom heard. Underground America changes that with a dramatic reading of oral histories by undocumented immigrants that reveals the harrowing ordeals and heart-rending choices they must make every day.
A discussion follows with a panel of experts who will address the legal, economic and humanitarian issues surrounding the immigration debate.
