520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Journalist and researcher Laufer helps to understand the background to the current state of Mexican immigration: the story of how the border has become a fraud, resulting in nothing more than the criminalization of Mexican and other migrants, the bloating of the mismanaged Immigration and Naturalization Service, the deterioration of living standards along the frontier, and the enrichment of American employers. Laufer argues for free movement across the border, ending a deadly charade that taunts and abuses workers the U.S. economy deperately needs, and making it easier for the U.S. to enforce restrictions against those people to whom it wants to deny entry.--From publisher description.
