What happens when the leaders sworn to protect America’s borders choose to dismantle them instead?In TREASON, J.J. Carrell delivers a gripping exposé of the Biden Administration’s deliberate and systematic unraveling of U.S. sovereignty. This is not speculation—it’s a searing account from someone who witnessed the betrayal firsthand.For 24 years, Carrell served in the U.S. Border Patrol, rising to the rank of Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge. He fought on the frontlines of America’s border security, safeguarding a system designed to protect the nation. But in January 2021, everything changed.The most secure border in U.S. history was destroyed overnight.Construction of the border wall halted.Long-standing immigration laws were replaced with unconstitutional directives.Millions of illegal aliens flooded into the country, enabled by a web of corrupt partnerships between the government and NGOs.Carrell watched his life’s work disintegrate in an instant. The policies he was forced to implement as an agent weren’t just ineffective—they were a direct assault on the very sovereignty of the United States. Unable to stand by any longer, he made the painful decision to retire and speak out.What This Book Reveals Will Leave You StunnedCarrell connects the dots to reveal an orchestrated plan designed to open America’s borders, unravel its security, and transform its future. With evidence laid out like a prosecutor building a criminal case, he exposes:The staggering surge in illegal entries: Daily arrests skyrocketed to over 20,000, overwhelming border security systems and personnel.The betrayal of unaccompanied children: Over 320,000 children were “lost” by federal agencies, with many falling prey to exploitation.The manipulation of immigration laws: Executive orders stripped the system of its protections, leaving border agents powerless.The profiteering partnerships with NGOs: Millions of taxpayer dollars flowed into the hands of organizations that facilitated the invasion, operating with impunity and zero accountability.This Is More Than a Crisis—It’s a Catastrophe by DesignCarrell argues that these policies were not the result of incompetence but a calculated effort to reshape America through chaos and division. From child trafficking to the dismantling of immigration law, this administration has created a border crisis that threatens the nation’s very fabric.But don’t take his word for it. Every fact, every claim, every statistic in this book is backed by firsthand accounts, documented evidence, and years of expertise from someone who lived it.⚠ A Call to Every Patriot ⚠This book is a wake-up call to every American who values the nation’s sovereignty and security. Carrell doesn’t mince words:"Do not look away. Ignorance is no longer an alibi. To remain silent is to be complicit."In TREASON, he dares you to confront the truth. To see the full picture of betrayal, corruption, and calculated destruction.✓ What happens when the border is no longer secure?✓ What happens when laws are rewritten to serve political agendas?✓ What happens when a government turns on its people?The evidence is laid bare. The truth is undeniable. The question is—what will you do with it?TREASON is a rallying cry for those who refuse to let America’s sovereignty be sold off piece by piece. It’s for those who believe in truth, accountability, and the power of exposing corruption, no matter how difficult it is to face.Prepare to be shocked. Prepare to be outraged. Prepare to be moved.Because once you see the full picture, there’s no going back. Read more

A compelling portrayal by the veteran journalist of the lives of farming communities on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border and the surprising connections between them“Conniff brings her skills and insights to a particularly urgent project: moving beyond the polarizing politics of our current era, and taking a deeper look at how people who have been pitted against each other can forge bonds of understanding.” —E.J. Dionne Jr., co-author of 100% DemocracyWinner of the Studs and Ida Terkel PrizeIn the Midwest, Mexican workers have become critically important to the survival of rural areas and small towns—and to the individual farmers who rely on their work—with undocumented immigrants, mostly from Mexico, accounting for an estimated 80 percent of employees on the dairy farms of western Wisconsin.In Milked, former editor-in-chief of The Progressive Ruth Conniff introduces us to the migrants who worked on these dairy farms, their employers, among them white voters who helped elect Donald Trump to office in 2016, and the surprising friendships that have formed between these two groups of people. These stories offer a rich and fascinating account of how two crises—the record-breaking rate of farm bankruptcies in the Upper Midwest, and the contentious politics around immigration—are changing the landscape of rural America.A unique and fascinating exploration of rural farming communities, Milked sheds light on seismic shifts in policy on both sides of the border over recent decades, connecting issues of labor, immigration, race, food, economics, and U.S.-Mexico relations and revealing how two seemingly disparate groups of people have come to rely on each other, how they are subject to the same global economic forces, and how, ultimately, the bridges of understanding that they have built can lead us toward a more constructive politics and a better world.

In this first comprehensive overview of the intersection of immigration law and the First Amendment, a lawyer and historian traces ideological exclusion and deportation in the United States from the Alien Friends Act of 1798 to the evolving policies of the Trump administration.Beginning with the Alien Friends Act of 1798, the United States passed laws in the name of national security to bar or expel foreigners based on their beliefs and associations—although these laws sometimes conflict with First Amendment protections of freedom of speech and association or contradict America’s self-image as a nation of immigrants. The government has continually used ideological exclusions and deportations of noncitizens to suppress dissent and radicalism throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from the War on Anarchy to the Cold War to the War on Terror.In Threat of Dissent—the first social, political, and legal history of ideological exclusion and deportation in the United States—Julia Rose Kraut delves into the intricacies of major court decisions and legislation without losing sight of the people involved. We follow the cases of immigrants and foreign-born visitors, including activists, scholars, and artists such as Emma Goldman, Ernest Mandel, Carlos Fuentes, Charlie Chaplin, and John Lennon. Kraut also highlights lawyers, including Clarence Darrow and Carol Weiss King, as well as organizations, like the ACLU and PEN America, who challenged the constitutionality of ideological exclusions and deportations under the First Amendment. The Supreme Court, however, frequently interpreted restrictions under immigration law and upheld the government’s authority.By reminding us of the legal vulnerability foreigners face on the basis of their beliefs, expressions, and associations, Kraut calls our attention to the ways that ideological exclusion and deportation reflect fears of subversion and serve as tools of political repression in the United States.

How the immigration courts became part of the nation’s law enforcement agency—and how to reshape them. During the Trump administration, the immigration courts were decried as more politicized enforcement weapon than impartial tribunal. Yet few people are aware of a fundamental flaw in the system that has long pre-dated that administration: The immigration courts are not really “courts” at all but an office of the Department of Justice—the nation’s law enforcement agency.   This original and surprising diagnosis shows how paranoia sparked by World War II and the War on Terror drove the structure of the immigration courts. Focusing on previously unstudied decisions in the Roosevelt and Bush administrations, the narrative laid out in this book divulges both the human tragedy of our current immigration court system and the human crises that led to its creation. Moving the reader from understanding to action, Alison Peck offers a lens through which to evaluate contemporary bills and proposals to reform our immigration court system. Peck provides an accessible legal analysis of recent events to make the case for independent immigration courts, proposing that the courts be moved into an independent, Article I court system. As long as the immigration courts remain under the authority of the attorney general, the administration of immigration justice will remain a game of political football—with people’s very lives on the line.   Read more

The third edition of Understanding Immigration Law lays out the basics of U.S. immigration law in an accessible way to newcomers to the field. It offers background about the intellectual, historical, and constitutional foundations of U.S. immigration law. The book also identifies the factors that have historically fueled migration to the United States, including the economic "pull" of jobs and family in the United States and the "push" of economic hardship, political instability, and other facts of life in the sending country. Each chapter has been updated to analyze the unprecedented number of immigration enforcement measures—and many simply unprecedented measures—taken by the Trump administration, including but not limited to: The various increased enforcement measures, including expanded detention (and the “end of catch-and-release”), workplace raids, and restoration of Secure Communities (which the Obama administration had dismantled); The “zero tolerance” policy directed at Central American asylum seekers, including the policy to separate minors from parents in immigration detention centers; The “Muslim”” or “travel ban” upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court; The end of Temporary Protected Status for Salvadorans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and nationals of several other countries; The attempt to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy adopted by the Obama administration; and The efforts to discourage state and local “sanctuary” policies that limit state and local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts.The chapters further update the various chapters with Supreme Court immigration decisions, including the Court’s decision invalidating a removal ground on due process grounds (Sessions v. Dimaya (2018)) and invalidating a derivative citizenship rule for violating Equal Protection (Sessions v. Morales-Santana (2017)). Read more

The danger of deportation hangs over the head of virtually every noncitizen in the United States. In the complexities and inconsistencies of immigration law, one can find a reason to deport almost any noncitizen at almost any time. In recent years, the system has been used with unprecedented vigor against millions of deportees.We are a nation of immigrants--but which ones do we want, and what do we do with those that we don't? These questions have troubled American law and politics since colonial times.Deportation Nation is a chilling history of communal self-idealization and self-protection. The post-Revolutionary Alien and Sedition Laws, the Fugitive Slave laws, the Indian "removals," the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Palmer Raids, the internment of the Japanese Americans--all sought to remove those whose origins suggested they could never become "true" Americans. And for more than a century, millions of Mexicans have conveniently served as cheap labor, crossing a border that was not official until the early twentieth century and being sent back across it when they became a burden.By illuminating the shadowy corners of American history, Daniel Kanstroom shows that deportation has long been a legal tool to control immigrants' lives and is used with increasing crudeness in a globalized but xenophobic world.

Long before Covid-19 and the death of George Floyd rocked America, Reihan Salam predicted our current unrest--and provided a blueprint for reuniting the country."Tthe years to come may see a new populist revolt, driven by the resentments of working-class Americans of color.” For too long, liberals have suggested that only cruel, racist, or nativist bigots would want to restrict immigration. Anyone motivated by compassion and egalitarianism would choose open, or nearly-open, borders—or so the argument goes. Now, Reihan Salam, the son of Bangladeshi immigrants, turns this argument on its head. In this deeply researched but also deeply personal book, Salam shows why uncontrolled immigration is bad for everyone, including people like his family. Our current system has intensified the isolation of our native poor, and risks ghettoizing the children of poor immigrants. It ignores the challenges posed by the declining demand for less-skilled labor, even as it exacerbates ethnic inequality and deepens our political divides. If we continue on our current course, in which immigration policy serves wealthy insiders who profit from cheap labor, and cosmopolitan extremists attack the legitimacy of borders, the rise of a new ethnic underclass is inevitable. Even more so than now, class politics will be ethnic politics, and national unity will be impossible. Salam offers a solution, if we have the courage to break with the past and craft an immigration policy that serves our long-term national interests. Rejecting both militant multiculturalism and white identity politics, he argues that limiting total immigration and favoring skilled immigrants will combat rising inequality, balance diversity with assimilation, and foster a new nationalism that puts the interests of all Americans—native-born and foreign-born—first.
