I just finished reading "Enrique's Journey" by Sonia Nazario.
This book brings the plight of those who illegally immigrate up close and personal.
The book does not take a stance on illegal immigration, but, identifies many of the reasons and risks people take to get to the United States in a way that humanizes the whole issue.
Regardless of where you stand on the illegal immigration issue, it is a good read.
