Operation Wetback and Beyond --Notes --Selected Bibliography --IndexThis is the untold history of the United States Border Patrol from its beginnings in 1924 as a small peripheral outfit to its emergence as a large professional police force. To tell this story, Kelly Lytle Hernández dug through a gold mine of lost and unseen records stored in garages, closets, an abandoned factory, and in U.S. and Mexican archives. Focusing on the daily challenges of policing the borderlands and bringing to light unexpected partners and forgotten dynamics, Migra! reveals how the U.S. Border Patrol translated the mandate for comprehensive migration control into a project of policing Mexicans in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.American crossroads ;29.History of the U.S. Border PatrolNoncitizensMexican-American Border RegionIllegal immigrationMexican-American Border RegionHistoryUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationabandoned factory.aliens.american dream.american history.biography.border patrol creation.borderlands.comprehensive migration control.illegal immigrants.immigrants.memoir.mexican border.minorities.police force.political activism.political awareness.undocumented.us border patrol history.us mexico relations.NoncitizensIllegal immigration.363.28/50973Hernandez Kelly Lytle1531919MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792406303321Migra3777885UNINA
