This is the untold history of the United States Border Patrol from its beginnings in 1924 as a small peripheral outfit to its emergence as a large professional police force. To tell this story; Kelly Lytle Hernández dug through a gold mine of lost and unseen records stored in garages; closets; an abandoned factory; and in U.S. and Mexican archives. Focusing on the daily challenges of policing the borderlands and bringing to light unexpected partners and forgotten dynamics; Migra! reveals how the U.S. Border Patrol translated the mandate for comprehensive migration control into a project of policing Mexicans in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. In the Taiga again.By Hale stevensFirst chapter is too academic like a research paper. After that the book becomes more interesting. Bought this after reading On The Run in Siberia. Read that book first so you know who the characters are in this book. The photos of Spiridon and Yura are worth the price alone. The only flaw is Rane's continued insistence throughout the book that elk are the leading prey the Yukaghirs hunt. Not true. There is even a photo of the author field dressing a moose that he identifies as an elk. Wrong. In On the Run in Siberia all they hunt is moose. There are no elk. This has to be some kind of editing mistake or a deliberate change by the author for some strange reason.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

H.The book was a an eyeopener as they say..Its nice to know that someone is not so prejudiced by what they have learned thru books. Going to visit and see the Yukaghirs was a once in a lifetime adventure and i am so glad you were able to write about them...
