For decades, immigration has been one of the most divisive,
contentious topics in American politics. And for decades, urgent
calls for its policy reform have gone mostly unanswered. As the
discord surrounding the modern immigration debate has intensified,
border enforcement has tightened. Crossing harsher, less porous
borders makes unauthorized entry to the United States a permanent,
costly undertaking. And the challenges don't end on the other side.
At once enlightening and devastating, The Border Within examines
the costs and ends of America's interior enforcement-the policies
and agencies, including ICE, aimed at removing immigrants already
living in the country. Economist Tara Watson and journalist Kalee
Thompson pair rigorous analysis with deeply personal stories from
immigrants and their families to assess immigration's effects on
every aspect of American life, from the labor force to social
welfare programs to tax revenue. What emerges is a critical,
utterly complete examination of what non-native Americans bring to
the country, including immigration's tendency to elevate the wages
and skills of those who are native-born.
