Since the attacks of 9/11, the United States has steadily ramped up security along the U.S.-Mexico border, transforming America’s legendary Southwest into a frontier of fear. Veteran journalist Peter Eichstaedt roams this fabled region from Tucson, Arizona, to El Paso, Texas, meeting with migrants, border security advocates, and communities ravaged by cross-border crime. He rides with the border patrol and reveals the tragic situation that has evolved along the border. Eichstaedt finds that despite tens of thousands of border agents and the expenditure of billions of dollars, an estimated one million Mexicans and Central Americans continue to cross the border each year. These migrants fill jobs that have become the underpinnings of the U.S. economy. Rather than building more and better barricades, Eichstaedt argues that the United States must reform its immigration and drug laws and acknowledge that costly, counterproductive, and antiquated policies have created deadly circumstances on both sides of the border. Recognizing the truth of America’s long and tortured relations with Mexico must be followed by legitimizing the contributions made by migrants to the American way of life."-from eBook CentralUndocumented immigrantsUnited StatesCrimeMexican-American Border RegionBorder securityMexican-American Border RegionMexican-American Border RegionUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyMexicoEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyElectronic books.Undocumented immigrantsCrimeBorder security364.1/370973Eichstaedt Peter1947-927762MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464921103321The dangerous divide2084462UNINA03616nam 2200733z- 450 991057687420332120220621(CKB)5720000000008433(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/84535(oapen)doab84535(EXLCZ)99572000000000843320202206d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierStorm Tide and Wave Simulations and Assessment IIBaselMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (100 p.)3-0365-3567-5 3-0365-3568-3 Storm tides, surges, and waves associated with typhoons/tropical cyclones/hurricanes are the most severe threats to coastal zones, nearshore waters, and navigational safety. Therefore, predicting typhoon/tropical cyclone/hurricane-induced storm tides, surges, waves, and coastal erosion is essential for reducing the loss of human life and property and mitigating coastal disasters. There is still a growing demand for novel techniques that could be adopted to resolve the complex physical processes of storm tides, surges, waves, and coastal erosion, even if many studies on the hindcasting/prediction/forecasting of typhoon-driven storm tides, surges, waves, and also morphology evolution have been carried out through numerical models in the last decade. This Special Issue intends to collect the latest studies on storm tide, surge, and wave modeling and analysis utilizing dynamic and statistical models and artificial intelligence approaches to improve our simulating and analytic capabilities and our understanding of storm tides, surges, and waves. Five high-quality papers have been accepted for publication in this Special Issue; these papers cover the application and development of many high-end techniques for storm tides, surges, waves, and on-site investigation of coastal erosion and accretion.History of engineering and technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicssccoastal modelingCorsicacross-shore profile evolutiondepth-induced wave breakingerosion and accretionGaussian spectrumhigh-order spectral (HOS) methodLanyang River estuarylimit of estuarine sediment transportmultivariate extreme valuen/anortheastern coastal waters of Taiwanrandom wavesregular wavesreturn levelsbPOMsea surface temperatureshallow nearshore watersSWANSWASH-2DHthree-dimensional Bragg resonancetotal water leveltyphoon waveV-shaped undulating bottomwave-breaking criterionwave-breaking formulationWAVEWATCH-IIIHistory of engineering and technologyTechnology: general issuesHsiao Shih-Chunedt1279931Chiang Wen-SonedtChen Wei-BoedtHsiao Shih-ChunothChiang Wen-SonothChen Wei-BoothBOOK9910576874203321Storm Tide and Wave Simulations and Assessment II3025388UNINA
