520 1 $a"Guarding the Gates: Immigration and National Security" "Michael C. LeMay "Today's immigration debate receives some much-needed historical perspective in this new book by LeMay, long regarded as a leading authority on U.S. immigration policy ... LeMay emphasizes the key role national security has always played in immigration policymaking, a conjunction more apparent and influential in post-9/11 U.S. society. The author is generally careful to avoid taking political sides on the polarizing immigration question, noting simply that history teaches the certainty that new coalitions---and new cycles---will continually form and reform depending on society's prevailing broader concerns. An excellent bibliography follows the narrative. Highly recommended. Most levels/libraries." Choice" "The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars: Drugs, Immigration, and Homeland Security" "Tony Payan "Tony Payan's book is an excellent primer on the myriad policy issues facing the United States and Mexico as they grapple with the opportunity and tragedy of their common border. Payan's lucid prose illuminates past and present on a frontier that has evolved from a collection of unguarded desert outposts to an urbanized battleground of cultural conflict."" "Hector Tobar Author of Translation Nation: Defining a New American Identity in the Spanish-Speaking United States" "In 2008, the United States allocated $3.5 billion for border patrol and $1 billion for the construction of a 700-mile fence between the United States and Mexico. The fence is unfinished, and the border remains a locus of anxiety---and often deadly struggle---as the drug war rages and jobs in both nations continue to disappear." "Although immigration and the U.S./Mexico border are perennial election issues, few Americans are aware of the long history of racial, political, religious, and class conflict that have resulted in America's contentious immigration policies. Running the Border Gauntlet: The Mexican Migrant Controversy traces this complex history, examining events that eventually led to the forceful annexation of the majority of Mexico under the pretense of Manifest Destiny and that contribute to tensions between the two nations today." "The story begins with religious discord between Protestants and Catholics and continues through the development of an economy based on slave labor, the annexation of Texas, the Mexican Revolution, the Bracero Program, NAFTA, and the "war on drugs." Among other revelations, the book challenges the longheld myths of the Texas revolution and the heroic role of the Texas Rangers and documents a continuing disregard for the welfare of indigenous populations. Drawing on all that went before, it explains not only the how and why of current U.S. immigration policy, but also its often devastating effects on migrant workers."--BOOK JACKET.
