Northern Border Patrol: Keeping the U.S.-Canadian border safe
Congressman Tancredo explains in cogent, rational detail how America is heading down the road to ruin and offers a prescription for repairing the damage. He believes that economic success and military prowess has transformed a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles into an overindulgent, self-deprecating, immoral cesspool of depravity.
Perfect for readers of This Is Where it Ends, The Border is a gripping drama about four teens, forced to flee home after a deadly cartel rips apart their families.

A band plays, glasses clink, and four teens sneak into the Mexican desert, the hum of celebration receding behind them. Crack. Crack. Crack. Not fireworks—gunshots. The music stops. And Pato, Arbo, Marcos, and Gladys are powerless as the lives they once knew are taken from them. Then they are seen by the gunmen. They run. Except they have nowhere to go. The narcos responsible for their families' murders have put out a reward for the teens' capture. Staying in Mexico is certain death, but attempting to cross the border through an unforgiving desert may be as deadly as the secrets they are trying to escape...

“Remarkable: a book about borders that makes the reader feel sumptuously free.” —Peter Pomerantsev In this extraordinary work of narrative reportage, Kapka Kassabova returns to Bulgaria, from where she emigrated as a girl twenty-five years previously, to explore the border it shares with Turkey and Greece. When she was a child, the border zone was rumored to be an easier crossing point into the West than the Berlin Wall, and it swarmed with soldiers and spies. On holidays in the “Red Riviera” on the Black Sea, she remembers playing on the beach only miles from a bristling electrified fence whose barbs pointed inward toward the enemy: the citizens of the totalitarian regime. Kassabova discovers a place that has been shaped by successive forces of history: the Soviet and Ottoman empires, and, older still, myth and legend. Her exquisite portraits of fire walkers, smugglers, treasure hunters, botanists, and border guards populate the book. There are also the ragged men and women who have walked across Turkey from Syria and Iraq. But there seem to be nonhuman forces at work here too: This densely forested landscape is rich with curative springs and Thracian tombs, and the tug of the ancient world, of circular time and animism, is never far off. Border is a scintillating, immersive travel narrative that is also a shadow history of the Cold War, a sideways look at the migration crisis troubling Europe, and a deep, witchy descent into interior and exterior geographies.
An urgent look at the U.S. Border Patrol from its xenophobic founding to its assault on the Fourth Amendment in its quest to become a national police force Late one July night in 2020, armed men, identified only by the word POLICE written across their uniforms, began snatching supporters of Black Lives Matter off the street in Portland, Oregon, and placing them in unmarked vans. These mysterious actions were not carried out by local law enforcement or even right-wing terrorists, but by the U.S. Border Patrol. Why was the Border Patrol operating so far from the boundaries of the United States? What were they doing at a protest that had nothing to do with immigration or the border? Nobody Is Protected: How the Border Patrol Became the Most Dangerous Police Force in the United States is the untold story of how, through a series of landmark but largely unknown decisions, the Supreme Court has dramatically curtailed the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution in service of policing borders. The Border Patrol exercises exceptional powers to conduct warrantless stops and interrogations within one hundred miles of land borders or coastlines, an area that includes nine of the ten largest cities and two thirds of the American population. Mapping the Border Patrol’s history from its bigoted and violent Wild West beginnings through the legal precedents that have unleashed today’s militarized force, Guggenheim Fellow Reece Jones reveals the shocking true stories and characters behind its most dangerous policies. With the Border Patrol intent on exploiting current laws to transform itself into a national police force, the truth behind their influence and history has never been more important.
Read the inside story of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who spent almost 30 years patrolling and subsequently managing various teams of law enforcement officers whose duty it was to stop illegal aliens and terrorists from entering the United States. Having begun his career on the U.S.-Mexico border as a journeyman Border Patrol agent in 1971, Eugene Davis worked his way up the ladder and served at a variety of capacities before retiring as the Deputy Chief of the Blaine sector in NW Washington State. "Dangerous Red Flags: My Life as a Border Patrol Agent" offers a unique boots-on-the-ground/firsthand perspective as to how our international borders have been impacted by poor Congressional oversight, along with a clear explanation in regards to our country's, Mexico's, and Canada's misguided immigration/visa policies, which have caused so much hardship to U.S. citizens--such as occurred with the 9/11 tragedy--along with the collateral suffering of the hard-working migrates who continue to flood into the U.S. under the harshest of conditions. At times criticizing his own superiors, Eugene Davis does not pull any punches. He explains the good, the bad, and the ugly as to why millions of undocumented aliens have been able to illegally come to the United States. His is a personal story that delves into the life-risking decisions that our frontline law enforcement officers have to constantly struggle with so as to properly serve and protect their country. Many readers will probably learn for the first time how truly compassionate and well-meaning our Border Patrol agents actually are. Plus, there are true-life examples of the ill-advised shortcuts that were performed on our southern border, such as frustrated Border Patrol agents commandeering private vehicles, along with a disturbing occurrence of how our constitutional protections were once overapplied by a misguided U.S. Attorney on our northern border--via a legal loophole that almost caused a terrorist bomber to be released from custody. Telling insights are also offered in regards to the behind-the-scenes actions that were taken to track down the D.C. snipers, who were first questioned by a Border Patrol agent in Bellingham, WA, before the two killers ever began their murderous crime spree, which eventually killed 17 innocent Americans. Retired Deputy Chief Davis also explains how our out-of-control borders could easily be fixed if Congress would simply pass a comprehension E-Verify law that's similar to the legislation which was initially recommended by Congresswoman Barbara Jordan--who chaired the Commission of Immigration Reform. Davis goes through a step-by-step explanation, with historical facts, as to the primary causes behind our dysfunctional borders and points out that Beltway lobbyists have been pounding a political drumbeat, for many years, to keep wages low for a variety of hourly workers, while at the same time using our country's job magnet to entice undocumented aliens to illegally cross our borders because certain businesses do not want to pay a living wage to our own citizens."Dangerous Red Flags" is a firsthand account of the day-to-day intrigue along the U.S. border and why our immigration policies have been neglected for so many years by those with self-serving political agendas, which have allowed terrorists to enter the U.S. This book explains why tens of thousands of illegal aliens continue to cross the U.S. border and how the situation could easily be corrected in order to help prevent 9/11-type terrorists from entering the country.
