Si stanno muovendo a decine, a centinaia, a migliaia: caricano tutto ciò che hanno sulla macchina e si trasferiscono per sempre in cima a un monte, in mezzo a una vallata, al margine di un bosco, in un borgo solitario. Alle spalle si lasciano le grandi città con le loro mille luci e i loro mille rumori, le strade congestionate da un traffico senza inizio né fine, l’aria condizionata degli uffici, gli avocado toast, i miniappartamenti dai prezzi insostenibili. è il grande ritorno collettivo verso la terra; e sta avvenendo proprio qui, ogni giorno, sotto i nostri occhi.

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work.

In this third edition of Border Games, Peter Andreas charts the rise and transformation in policing the flow of drugs and migrants across the US-Mexico border. Recent border crackdowns and wall-building campaigns, he argues, are not unprecedented. Rather, they are the outcome of an escalatory dynamic already in motion—but now played out on a far bigger stage, with higher stakes, and in new security and political contexts. Focusing on the power of symbolic politics and policy feedback effects, Andreas traces the logic behind such buildup.

In earlier times immigrants were generally "like us". Now, many immigrants are often Muslims, who not only dress distinctively, but practice a different religious creed as well. Many fear that terrorists will enter our country under the guise of immigrants. Christians, however, belong to another kingdom, the kingdom of Jesus the Messiah. A Christian response to the needs of refugees and immigrants should reflect their commitment to Christ more than their fears or political allegiances.
