We know a lot about the relationship between immigration policy and human smuggling. Worth revisiting this study that finds links between restrictive U.S. border policies and the growth of a multi-billion-dollar smuggling economy in Mexico. austinkocher.substack.com/p/does-us-im...

This is a good corrective by @coreyrobin.bsky.social to some of the doom-mongering hype about Trump being able to pull of all his worst plans. Yes he will do a lot of damage and hurt, but he is weaker than we think and that means resistance can also make a difference. jacobin.com/2024/12/trum...

I think about my day on the water as the poet (John O’Donohue) contends that the violation of beauty is a fundamental element of today’s global crisis. “When we awaken to the call of beauty,”he writes, “we become aware of new ways of being in the world.” www.theborderchronicle.com/p/esta-cabro...

The Biden administration has set a record for the number of Guatemalans deported in a single year. As of December 18, the United States has deported 60,277 in 2024, according to the Guatemalan Gov't's Immigration Institute.

The Democrats have not "followed progressive advocates to the left." They have followed the 90s Clinton prevention through deterrence strategy, the post 9/11 mass fortification, and the wishes of border industry, to which Biden issued record contracts during his four years.

The final substantive session of our politics of borders seminar today centered around @memomiller.bsky.social’s book, Build Bridges, Not Walls (2021). At the end of a particularly difficult and emotional semester, we found hope (promise, even) in imagining a different future, and asking, “what if?”
