It wasn’t surprising when the first abandoned bicycles were found along the dirt roads and farmland just across the border from Tijuana, but before long they were arriving in droves. The bikes went from curiosity, to nuisance, to phenomenon. But until they caught the eye of journalist Kimball Taylor, only a small cadre of human smugglers - coyotes - and migrants could say how or why they’d gotten there. This is the story of 7,000 bikes that made an incredible journey and one young man from Oaxaca who arrived at the border with nothing, built a small empire, and then vanished.

Political turmoil surrounding immigration at the federal level and the inability of Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform have provided an opening for state and local governments to become more active in setting their own immigration-related policies. States largely dictate the resources, institutions, and opportunities immigrants can access: who can get a driver’s license or attend a state university, what languages are spoken in schools and public offices, how law enforcement interacts with the public, and even what schools teach students about history.

On the first of September 1785, with night coming on and the weather deteriorating, the crew of the ship Faithful Steward sailed toward Delaware's notorious False Cape. In the summer of 1785, a group of Irish migrants took to the Atlantic to escape the abuse and persecution of the ruling classes at home. They sought a new life in the United States, a place "where the banner of freedom waved proudly" and "every good was possessed."

The completion of the transcontinental railroad in May 1869 is usually told as a story of national triumph and a key moment for American Manifest Destiny. The Railroad made it possible to cross the country in a matter of days instead of months, paved the way for new settlers to come out west, and helped speed America's entry onto the world stage as a modern nation that spanned a full continent. It also created vast wealth for its four owners, including the fortune with which Leland Stanford would found Stanford University some two decades later.

An den europäischen Außengrenzen werden vielfach Menschenrechte gebrochen. Geflüchtete werden ohne Zugang zu Asylverfahren zurückgewiesen, eingesperrt, auf dem Meer ausgesetzt und misshandelt. Erik Marquardt sitzt für die Grünen im EU-Parlament und war in den letzten Jahren immer wieder auf der Balkanroute, auf Lesbos und bei der Seenotrettung auf dem Mittelmeer. In seinem Buch macht er die Diskrepanz zwischen dem europäischen Bekenntnis zu Menschenrechten und -würde und der Wirklichkeit vor Ort deutlich.

As Jacob Hornberger details in this primer, there is one solution to this border morass. That solution is “open borders” — genuine open borders — that is, the dissolution of the Border Patrol, ICE, and all restrictions on the free movements of goods, services, and people across our international borders. This book shows that not only are open borders the only solution to the ongoing, never-ending, perpetual crisis, chaos, suffering, death, and immigration police state along the border, they are also the only solution that is consistent with religious, free-market, and moral principles as well.

A lo largo de nuestras vidas, no ha habido nada más que caos constante, crisis, muerte y sufrimiento en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México. Existe una razón sencilla para este fenómeno: el sistema de inmigración estadounidense se basa en el principio socialista de la planificación central, lo cual produce un “caos planificado”. Para enfrentar este caos, los funcionarios estadounidenses han impuesto un estado policial migratorio en las zonas fronterizas, el cual ha destruido la libertad y la privacidad y que ahora se está expandiendo a nivel nacional.
