Immigration is a complex and multifaceted issue that has been debated for centuries. There is no easy answer to the question of how to deal with the influx of people who come to our country in search of a better life. In recent years, the United States has seen a sharp increase in the number of immigrants from Latin America, Asia, and Africa. This has led to a renewed debate about the costs and benefits of immigration.

One of the most tragic aspects of immigration is the separation of families. When parents are forced to leave their children behind in order to find work, it can have a devastating impact on both the children and the parents. In some cases, children are left alone to fend for themselves, while in other cases, they are placed in foster care or adopted by strangers.

The children of immigrants often face unique challenges. They may struggle to learn English, they may be bullied or discriminated against, and they may feel like they don't belong. These challenges can make it difficult for them to succeed in school and in life.

The tragedy of immigration is not limited to the children of immigrants. Adults who come to this country in search of a better life often face their own set of challenges. They may be forced to work low-wage jobs, they may be exploited by employers, and they may be denied access to healthcare and other essential services.

The Wisconsin Studies in Classics is a series of books that explore the tragic experiences of immigrants in Wisconsin. The books draw upon insights from classical literature and history to shed light on the challenges that immigrants face today.

The third book in the series, "The Future of Immigration: A Classical Perspective," was published in 2020. The book examines the future of immigration in the United States and around the world.
