Citi of Books Highlights “Citizen of the USA by Choice” by Juan Baires-Adair at LIBER Feria Internacional del Libro 2026

“Citizen of the USA by Choice” by Juan Baires-Adair tells the deeply personal story of a man who leaves behind life in Mexico to pursue opportunity, stability, and purpose in the United States. Through struggles with political corruption, career setbacks, and identity, Juan’s journey reflects the difficult realities many immigrants face.

Juan Baires-Adair was born in Mexico City. His love for Mexico was marred by the dirty politics and corruption that he encountered in the Mexican government of the 1970’s. This fact made him, and his family decide to emigrate to the United States of America, where he continued to pursue the decision to become a licensed architect, while assimilating to the United States of America’s culture to become a Citizen Of The USA By Choice.

In “Citizen of the USA by Choice,” the author offers a poignant and deeply personal narrative that sheds light on the struggles faced by immigrants seeking refuge and a better life in the United States. Through his eyes, readers are taken on a journey that highlights the harsh realities of fleeing one’s homeland, where safety, economic stability, and personal liberty often feel like distant dreams. Juan’s story is not just a reflection of his own experiences but a broader commentary on the challenges that countless immigrants endure as they navigate the complexities of leaving behind everything they know in search of a brighter future.

As Juan recounts his own experiences with a corrupt government, he paints a vivid picture of the obstacles that can make the decision to emigrate both daunting and necessary. His narrative captures the emotional turmoil of leaving family and friends behind, as well as the fear and uncertainty that accompany such a monumental choice.

Juan’s path to becoming a Licensed Architect in the United States adds another layer to his story. It illustrates the dedication and hard work required to overcome barriers in a new country, especially in a field that demands both skill and recognition. His journey serves as an inspiring reminder that, despite the challenges, the pursuit of one’s passions can lead to fulfillment and success.

What makes this book so engaging is how relatable it feels, even if you’ve never left your home country. Juan isn’t portrayed as some perfect hero, he makes mistakes, doubts himself, and faces setbacks that hit hard. But that’s exactly why you’ll root for him. Whether it’s losing jobs unexpectedly or dealing with unfair systems, his experiences mirror the everyday struggles people face when life doesn’t go according to plan. It’s especially a great read for young adults, aspiring professionals, immigrants, or anyone trying to figure out their path in life.
