![]() | Border Wars Subjects: United States -- Emigration and immigration -- Government policy; Mexican-American Border Region -- Emigration and immigration; Border security -- Government policy -- United States; Border security -- Economic aspects -- Mexican-American Border Region; I; The consequences of political fear-mongering and tough talk on immigration in the American Southwest. The Tea Party and its allies celebrate the rogue states of the Southwest as a model for the nation in their go-it-alone posturing and tough immigration-enforcement talk. In Border Wars, dogged investigative journalist Tom Barry documents the costs of that model: lives lost; families torn apart; billions of wasted tax dollars; vigilantes prowling the desert; and fiscal crises in cities, counties, and states. Even worse, he warns, the entire nation risks following their lead. |
