The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars
Drugs, Immigration, and Homeland Security
Second Edition | TONY PAYAN
FOREWORD BY KATHLEEN STAUDT
The U.S.-Mexico border remains a hot topic in the news—and a contentious one. This
second edition of a popular work brings readers up to date on what is really going on at the
U.S.-Mexico border and why. The book offers a detailed, history-based examination of the
evolution of current conditions on the border, arguing that they exist due to a steady growth
in the security concerns of the United States over almost two centuries. The author shows
how the border has gone through four historical stages that, ultimately, have crippled the
region, sacrificing its ability to produce prosperity in exchange for greater security.
