An eyeopening analysis of the costs and effects of immigration and immigration policy, both on American life and on new Americans.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 dont end on the other side.At once enlightening and devastating, The Border Within examines the costs and ends of Americas interior enforcementthe 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 immigrations 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 nonnative Americans bring to the country, including immigrations tendency to elevate the wages and skills of those who are nativeborn.News coverage has prompted many to question the humanity of American immigration policies; The Border Within opens a conversation of whether it is effective. The United States spends billions each year on detention and deportation, all without economic gain and at a great human cost. With depth and discipline, the authors dissect the shockandawe policies that make up a broken, often cruel system, while illuminating the lives caught in the chaos. It is an essential work with farreaching implications for immigrants and nonimmigrants alike.
