Erik Camayd-Freixas is a Federally-certified
interpreter who witnessed firsthand these events. He has just released a book
-- US Immigration Reform and Its Global Impact: Lessons from the Postville
Raid – which presents an insider’s view of the raid. He chose to speak up and comment on the events he witnessed as an interpreter. This post is a way for me to support Erik’s efforts to address a very contentious topic.
What follows is a more detailed description of
the book and its author.
Erik Camayd-Freixas, US Immigration
Reform and Its Global Impact: Lessons from the Postville Raid
(New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013)
Providing an insider's view of US immigration enforcement and detention, US Immigration Reform and Its Global Impact unravels the post-9/11 national security agenda that led to the devastating Postville Raid of 2008 and its global ramifications. This incisive historical analysis unveils the hidden ideologies within immigration policy—uncovering forms of labor, demographic, and electoral control. Rich eyewitness accounts and voices from across the political spectrum paint a vivid picture of labor migration in the era of globalization. Camayd-Freixas employs theories of human mobility in terms of migration spheres to convey practical and historical lessons, illuminating a much-needed roadmap for enlightened immigration reform.

To date, to find qualified interpreters is difficult, despite the plethora of companies and individuals offering services of this kind. Today the market of translation services overcrowded. In times of Soviet Union existed Translation Center - a single state structure, which was engaged in translating scientific and technical literature. Translation rules are clearly spelled out, the deviation from the rules is not allowed.
