Allowing the voices of the subjects shine through, this book succeeds due to its clarity and empathy."--Roberto G. Gonzales, Author of <i>Liv</i><i><i>es</i> in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America</i> <p/> "By highlighting the ways U.S. immigration policies shape the experiences of romantic love, intimacy and family formation, Enriquez's meticulous research calls attention to the enduring injurious effects on undocumented and DACAmented young adults, and on their citizen spouses and children. An innovative and sobering account of the far-reaching consequences of our punishing immigration policies. Timely and compelling."--Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, Florence Everline Professor of Sociology, University of Southern California <p/> "In engaging and methodologically rigorous narrative, Enriquez sheds novel light on the courtship and dating phase of family formation among undocumented and/or mixed status Mexican immigrant families.
