The Silent Invasion

About the Book

The United States is invaded by thousands of immigrants each year, who arrive by air, boat and by individuals crossing our very porous borders. Most are illegal.

Every effort by the government to create protective legislation or to bolster the coast guard, border patrols and visa controls is stopped by politicians who need the votes and contributions from business who value the illegal workers' cheap production.

This story follows the lives of several immigrants, legal and illegal, living in Texas and California. Carl Casquale, a young dentist, and his shady brother, Eddy, have a dark secret. Bill Caleho is a rising architect building Carl's dream home. Bill is in love with the breathtakingly beautiful Dallas Diez, a smart young lawyer.

Their lives, loves, businesses and political involvements could come crashing down around them all if the secret is revealed.
