This book was blood boiling. The way politicians have played with people’s lives to create the problems we’re seeing today and the lack of actual fixing is the issues that has actually happened.
The book is really good. Well researched and well written.
The events the book covers are horrific and often made me want to attack something.
This is a must read for anyone interested in a deep dive into what has been happening between the USA and Latin America for several generations. It brings to the forefront how we’re dealing with the consequences of the past and poorly setting up the future. It also highlights how we cannot separate the past/present/future from each other.

Necessary reading for anyone interested in learning more about the ongoing migrant bottleneck at the US-Mexico border. Blitzer narrates the stories of his main subjects with compassion and kindness. The author does not shy away from the stark reality and truth of how the US federal government has manufactured these crises. There is so much information packed into the ~450 pages of the narrative and I’m very glad I picked this up.
