This was recommended on one of the many bookish podcasts I listen to and I'm so glad I decided to chance it. I've been let down by comics who try to breech big subjects like this in the past (see The Tithe), but this hasn't let me down. The premise is that Americans now, are the undocumented immigrants. We don't really know why, or what's happened to cause this yet, but we do know that undocumented Americans are flocking to Argentina for a chance at a better life. I really loved the art in this, and, although some might say heavy handed, the way it forces you to really examine undocumented immigration, and those people who are in the US currently as undocumented immigrants, and what they had to go through. I found the story super intriguing, and will absolutely be continuing on. I highly recommend!
