From Lou Dobbs to Sean Hannity, commentators on the right have crafted an image rooted in fear, demonizing undocumented immigrants as a threat to national security and raising the specter of a deliberate \"browning of America.\" Left-leaning journalists, on the other hand, foreground victimization, emphasizing the plight of immigrants, stripping them of their agency. Neither captures the range of experiences within undocumented immigrant communities, and both fail to see immigrants as active participants in their own struggle for racial and economic justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePresente!\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rare perspective on the immigrant-rights movement, written by immigrant workers themselves.
