Border Wars: Inside Trump's Assault on Immigration
Autor Julie Hirschfeld Davis, Michael D. Shearen Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 oct 2019
No issue matters more to Donald Trump and his administration than restricting immigration.
Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear have covered the Trump administration from its earliest days. InBorder Wars, they take us inside the White House to document how Stephen Miller and other anti-immigration officials blocked asylum-seekers and refugees, separated families, threatened deportation, and sought to erode the longstanding bipartisan consensus that immigration and immigrants make positive contributions to America. Their revelation of Trump’s desire for a border moat filled with alligators made national news.
As the authors reveal, Trump has used immigration to stoke fears (“the caravan”), attack Democrats and the courts, and distract from negative news and political difficulties. As he seeks reelection in 2020, Trump has elevated immigration in the imaginations of many Americans into a national crisis.
Border Warsidentifies the players behind Trump’s anti-immigration policies, showing how they planned, stumbled and fought their way toward changes that have further polarized the nation. “[Davis and Shear’s] exquisitely reportedBorder Warsreveals the shattering horror of the moment, [and] the mercurial unreliability and instability of the president” (The New York Times Book Review).

Recenzii
“Essential
reading
for
those
searching
for
the
‘beating
heart’
of
the
Trump
administration.
.
.
.
Davis
and
Shear
are
scrupulously
fair
reporters.
.
.
.
[They]
are
right:
Immigration
demagogy
is
at
the
‘heart’
of
the
Trump
show
—
and
the
Trump
show
is
at
the
heart
of
our
tragic
decline
as
a
civil
and
humane
society.”
“A stark account of the Trump administration’s ongoing attempts to disembowel the nation’s immigration policy. . . .Border Wars is more than simply a book about his administration’s strategizing and ill-fated efforts to make this happen. The book also reveals the rampant dysfunction within the administration. . . .Border Wars avoids polemics in favor of a fact-based account of what precipitated some of this administration’s more brazen assaults on immigration. . . . Hirschfeld Davis and Shear had only to state the facts and allow readers to draw their own conclusions. Trump had already taken care of impaling himself.”
"The book reveals much about how Trump thinks, why he instinctively 'grasped for the solution that looked toughest,' and, in hair-raising insider detail, how he governs from day to day. If journalism is the first draft of history, this volume is a solid second draft."
"A vivid, revelatory account of President Trump’s attempts to overhaul the U.S. immigration system. . . . Davis and Shear’s fast-paced, richly detailed narrative underscores the chaos surrounding the White House without minimizing the fact that it’s now 'more dangerous and costly to be undocumented' in America than it has been in decades. The result is an essential inquiry into Trump’s bet that his 'take-no-prisoners' approach to immigration will win him the 2020 election."
