In the deserts of Arizona, its a virtual fence of high-tech electronic sensors, cameras, and radar. In some border stretches its a huge concrete-and-steel wall; in others its a series of solitary posts designed to stop drug runners; in still others its rusted barbed-wire cattle fences. For two-thirds of the international boundary its nonexistent. Just what is this entity known as the fence? And more important, is it working? Through first-person interviews with defense contractors, border residents, American military, Minutemen, county officials, Customs and Border Protection agents, environmental activists, and others whose voices have never been heard, Robert Lee Maril examines the projects human and financial costs. Along with Marils site visits, his rigorous analysis of government documents from 1999 to the present uncovers fiscal mismanagement by Congress, wasteful defense contracts, and unkept political promises. As drug violence mounts in border cities and increasing numbers of illegal migrants die from heat exhaustion in the Arizona desert, Maril argues how the fence may even be making an incendiary situation worse. Avoiding preconceived conclusions, he proposes new public policies that take into consideration human issues, political negotiation, and the need for compromise. Marils lucid study shows the fence to be a symbol in concrete, steel, microchips, and fiber optics for the crucible of contemporary immigration policy, national security, and public safety.</p>...3172008The Fence204204https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-fence-9780896727489/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3300250/ab9488ca-f9cb-41e3-9d35-1a7a6e448077.jpg?v=638385172325000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209780896727489_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9780896727489_<p>To the American public it’s a 2,000-mile-long project to keep illegal immigrants, narcotics, and terrorists on the other side of the U.S.–Mexico border.
