Defend the border & save lives: solving our most important humanitarian and security crisis / by Homan, Tomauthor;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-252) and index.Who I fight for -- Immigration and the law -- The real story on our southern border -- Animals smuggling humans -- Make immigration safe and legal again -- Illegal employment : big problem, simple solutions -- Illegal immigration : facts, feelings, and fixes -- Blurred borders and crime -- Build those walls -- Are borders racist? -- Zero tolerance and the fallacy of "family separation" -- Sanctuary for criminals -- The war against ice -- The Trump effect -- Let's fix this.Illegal immigration is the most controversial and emotional issue this country faces today. President Trump was elected on his promise to fix illegal immigration and build a wall on our southern border. Because he won on this issue, the Democrats refuse to work with him, and we experienced a government shutdown as a result of this divide. The Democrats have supported funding in the past and, in his State of the Union, the President said that he wants to unify and work together to resolve this and all the other challenges facing America. The Democrats sat on their hands. They won't budge. Clearly, as a party, they don't care about the facts, only about denying whatever success they can to this president. Former ICE Director and Fox News contributor Tom Homan knows the facts. He's spent his life on the border and knows that if we don't control illegal immigration now, this country will continue to suffer the consequences of crime, drugs, and financial strain-and it will get much much worse. In Defend the Border and Save Lives, Homan shares what illegal immigration is really about. Illegal immigration should not be a partisan issue. Now is the time to fix this issue that has claimed so many victims and divided this country. We need to pull the curtain back and expose what truly happens and separate facts from fiction. Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime, and the victims are the illegals and their innocent children as well as the Americans who suffer at the hand of the criminals who sneak into this country.

Violent borders : refugees and the right to move / by Jones, Reece,author.(CARDINAL)604327;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-209) and index.The European Union : the world's deadliest border -- The US-Mexico border : rise of a militarized zone -- The global border regime -- The global poor -- Maps, hedges, and fences : enclosing the commons and bounding the seas -- Bounding wages, goods, and workers -- Borders, climate change, and the environment.Forty thousand people died trying to cross international borders in the past decade, with the high-profile deaths along the shores of Europe only accounting for half of the grisly total. Reece Jones argues that these deaths are not exceptional, but rather the result of state attempts to contain populations and control access to resources and opportunities. "We may live in an era of globalization," he writes, "but much of the world is increasingly focused on limiting the free movement of people." In Violent Borders, Jones crosses the migrant trails of the world, documenting the billions of dollars spent on border security projects, and their dire consequences for the majority of the people in the world. While the poor are restricted by the lottery of birth to slums and the aftershocks of decolonization, the wealthy travel without constraint, exploiting pools of cheap labour and lax environmental regulations. With the growth of borders and resource enclosures, argues Jones, the deaths of migrants in search of a better life are intimately connected to climate change, environmental degradation, and the persistence of global wealth inequality.

Nobody is protected : how the Border Patrol became the most dangerous police force in the United States / by Jones, Reece,author.(CARDINAL)604327;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-276).Introduction: Out of Control -- Part 1. The Wild West Origins of the Border Patrol. Send Two Coffins -- The Texas Rangers -- Closing the Back Gate -- They Have no Right to Go into the Interior -- Unreasonable Searches and Seizures -- A Reasonable Distance -- Part 2. The Supreme Court. Law and Order -- Terrorists in Suits -- Change of Heart -- Rank Racism -- Mexican Haircuts -- A Sixth Sense -- Free to Stop Any and All Motorists -- Part 3. The One Hundred Mile Zone. America's Frontline -- Hostile Terrain -- Checkpoint Nation -- Somebody Speaking Spanish -- The Everywhere Border -- Conclusion."Late one July night in 2020 in Portland, Oregon, armed men, identified only by the word POLICE stitched onto their uniforms, began snatching people off the street and placing them in unmarked vans. The people targeted were legally protesting as part of a nationwide Black Lives Matter movement. More arrests soon followed. These actions were not done by a group of right-wing terrorists, or the FBI or CIA. They were common practice maneuvers conducted by the US Border Patrol. The fact that the Border Patrol was operating so far from what we think of as "the border" might seem like a surprising revelation. The Border Patrol can legally operate anywhere in the United States, but it has additional powers to stop and interrogate people without a warrant in a zone within one hundred miles of land borders and coastlines, an area including nine of the ten largest cities in the United States and two thirds of the population, and an area the American Civil Liberties Union has come to call the Constitution Free Zone, as a result. Nobody is Protected: How the Border Patrol Became the Most Dangerous Police Force in the United States is the untold story of how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution has been curtailed in service of the policing of our borders. It shines a light on this often secretive but powerful police force; how its agents are arrested for committing crimes five times more often than regular police officers, how its culture of racism and violence has proliferated over the last few decades, and how its power, oftentimes, goes unchecked. Borders expert Reece Jones tells the history of the Border Patrol that has defined its culture and authority: mapping its Wild West beginnings, starting with a small cohort one hundred years ago, to its militarized force today, revealing the shocking true stories and characters behind its most dangerous policies. With Border Patrol agents now using their powers to arrest peaceful protestors and demonstrators, the truth behind their influence and history has never been more urgent"--

But as journalist Todd Miller finds in Empire of Borders, the US border is also becoming increasingly fluid, expanding thousands of miles outside of US territory often to protect Washington's interests. In places like Argentina, Kosovo, Honduras, Jordan and Afghanistan, US border patrol works alongside local agents to block migrants, terrorists, drug runners and smugglers from ever approaching the US. Empire of Borders traces the rise of this border regime, along with practices of "extreme vetting" and the vast global industry for border and homeland security. But in visiting the Jordan/Syria border, as well as Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Kenya, Palestine, Mexico and the Philippines, Miller finds instead a global war against the poor"--
