520 "When confronted with the challenges of border security
and illegal immigration, government officials are fond of
saying that our borders have never been as safe and secure
as they are now. But ranchers in the borderlands of
Arizona and Texas fear for their lands, their cattle,
their homes, and sometimes their lives due to the human
and drug smuggling traffic that regularly crosses their
property. Who is right? What does a secure border actually
look like? More importantly, is a secure border a
realistic goal for the United States? Border Insecurity
examines all the aspects of the challenge--and thriving
industry--of trying to keep terrorists, drug smugglers,
and illegal immigrants from entering the United States
across our land borders. It looks at on-the-ground issues
and controversies like the border fence, the usefulness of
technology, shifts in the connection between illegal
immigration and drug smuggling, and the potential for
terrorists and drug cartels to work together. Border
Insecurity also delves into how the border debate itself
is part of why the government has failed to improve
information sharing and why this is necessary to establish
a clear and comprehensive border security strategy"--
