Data Borders investigates entrenched and emerging borderland
technology that ensnares all people in an intimate web of
surveillance where data resides and defines citizenship. Detailing
the new trend of biologically mapping undocumented people through
biotechnologies, Melissa Villa-Nicholas shows how surreptitious
monitoring of Latinx immigrants is the focus of and driving force
behind Silicon Valley's growing industry within defense technology
manufacturing. Villa-Nicholas reveals a murky network that gathers
data on marginalized communities for purposes of exploitation and
control that implicates law enforcement, border patrol, and ICE,
but that also pulls in public workers and the general public, often
without their knowledge or consent. Enriched by interviews of
Latinx immigrants living in the borderlands who describe their
daily use of technology and their caution around surveillance, this
book argues that in order to move beyond a heavily surveilled state
that dehumanizes both immigrants and citizens, we must first
understand how our data is being collected, aggregated, correlated,
and weaponized with artificial intelligence and then push for
immigrant and citizen information privacy rights along the border
and throughout the United States.
