The Border

David Danelo spent three months traveling the 1952 miles that separate the United States and Mexico--a journey that took him across four states and two countries through a world of rivers and canals mountains and deserts highways and dirt roads fences and border towns. Here the border isn't just an abstraction thrown around in political debates in Washington; it's a physical reality infinitely more complex than most politicians believe. <BR /><BR />Danelo’s investigative report about a complex longstanding debate that became a central issue of the 2016 presidential race examines the border in human terms through a cast of colorful characters. As topical today as it was when Danelo made his trek this revised and updated edition asks and answers the core questions: Should we close the border? Is a fence or wall the answer? Is the U.S. government capable of fully securing the border?
