Book Reviews of On The Line: Inside the U.S. Border Patrol
Book Review: A Gripping Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I think 99% of America would be absolutly shocked to learn what's going on along our borders--illegal immigrants from countires such as Iraq paying Mexican smugglers to get them across the border, the Mexican military crossing into Arizona and Texas with narcotics, Coyote smugglers killing illegal immigrants by the dozen, drug cartels offering a $200,000 bounty to anyone who kills a border patrol agent, tunnels a half mile long shooting beneath the border, U.S ranchers arming themselves with machine guns to protect their property. The list goes on and on, and the most shocking part about it is that we seldom hear about these events in the news. Living in Southern California, I had been led to believe that Border Patrol operations such as Gatekeeper have largely stopped the flow of illegal aliens and drugs, but now I realize that they have only pushed the problem into more remote parts of the border where the news media seldom venture. The authors of this book did an excellent job at exposing the truth of what is going on in America's backyard. They interviewed what seemes to be hundreds of patrolmen, politicians, and citizens who deal with these issues on a daily basis, as well as offer a ray of hope for the border patrol under the newly created department of homeland security. Hopefully if enough people read this book, maybe politicians will stop skirting around border issues as they have for the past thirty years and make some much needed changes that will help protect the US from invasion. A MUST READ!
