“This is a book about dreaming big dreams. Jose Campos’ story
demonstrates that a 17-year old immigrant from El Salvador can change
his life and have a powerful impact on thousands more. Determination,
discipline and a positive attitude allowed a student without papers to
finish Grad school. But the beauty of the book resides in all the other
stories that complement Jose’s journey. His lesson is quite clear: he
did it, and you can too.”—Jorge Ramos, News Anchor/Univision
“This Book Changed How I See the Immigrant Experience.
– Cory
Jose takes you on his journey in a way that makes you feel lost with him, feeling every challenge, every uncertainty, but never hopeless or defeated. His resilience and resourcefulness are truly inspiring, and his story proves that perseverance and hard work do lead to success.
As someone with immigrants in my family, Surviving The Law opened up conversations I had never had with them. I thought I understood the immigrant struggle, but Jose’s story made me realize just how much I didn’t know. I hope that young people, students, and anyone who wants to understand the reality of immigration will read this book. It’s a powerful, necessary story.”

When Going All-In Creates A Superhero
“Surviving The Law by Jose R. Campos is an incredible true story about full commitment with no turning back, like Spanish Captain Hernán Cortés burning his ships or the movie Gattaca. It is a riveting book that delves into some intricacies of the legal system through the lens of personal struggle and triumph. The narrative is both compelling and heart-wrenching, as it reveals the emotional and psychological toll that the pursuit of justice can exact on an individual. Campos’ eloquence and earnestness make this book not just an account of survival but a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.”

“Powerful, honest and relatable
This book is an exceptional and deeply relatable read. It captures the raw, authentic complexities of not only the authors life but other “fellows” who have gone through the ups and downs of a life as an undocumented immigrant.
