Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear - Border Wars: Inside Trump's Assault on Immigration
Award-winning journalists who have covered Congress and the White House, Davis and Shear have followed the Trump administration from the start. In this deeply reported account, they focus on the defining issue of Trump’s presidency: immigration. Taking us behind the scenes and including previously unreported stories, they document a disorganized, paranoid decision-making process; show how Trump has used immigration to polarize the country and stoke unreasonable fears; and detail the ways the administration has blocked asylum seekers, separated families, threatened deportation, and undermined the nation’s longstanding commitment to immigration and the positive benefits newcomers offer the nation.
