Summary: Important story often overlooked, excellent book
Review: Especially for those of us who live in the Southwest, this is a very important book that contains a reality which is underreported in national and mainstream media. The only reason I have given this book 4 stars rather than 5 is a result of the overall writing style. It is a very historically-based book that can come off as a bit dry at times, but the content and shock value alone more than makes up for it. Read this book and learn about the violence that takes place every day on the US-Mexico border in the name of democracy and freedom.

Summary: An eye-opening book ..... informative and thorough.
Review: This book provides an excellent overview on the history of the US-Mexican border, and immigration laws that have been instituted over the years. The author is able to see through the propaganda the US government uses to perpetuate their "rationale" for the continued security buildup with regards to the border. Anyone with an interest in history and/or immigration should read this book, and become enlightened!

Summary: Liberal bias wrapped in a pseudo-cloak of objectiveness
Review: While the author tried to maintain an air of fairness and objectiveness regarding the many controversial issues surrounding border enforcement, a subtle, liberal bias tainted his entire presentation. The conclusions were already made before the words were written; it is obvious that supportive facts were selectively picked. This book has less original thoughts than you might think. The author looked at the "medium" picture and told us it was the "big" picture. Either he doesn't know the difference or is trying to promote his social agenda. In our new era of concern over national security, this argument doesn't fly. Don't waste your money on this one!
