Sand and Blood: America’s Stealth War on the Mexico Border Audiobook (Free)

A damning portrait from the U.S.-Mexico border, where militaristic fantasies are unleashed, violent technologies are analyzed, and immigrants are targeted.

Within the last three decades, U.S. immigration and border security policies have switched the southern expresses into conflict zones, spawned a network of immigrant detention centers, and unleashed an army of ICE realtors into cities in the united states.

As award-winning journalist John Carlos Frey reveals within this groundbreaking book, the war against about Fine sand and Blood: America’s Stealth War for the Mexico Border immigrants has been escalating for decades, fueled by defense companies and lobbyists looking for earnings and politicians–Republicans and Democrats alike–who relied on racist fear-mongering to carefully turn out votes. After 9/11, while Us citizens’ attention was qualified on the Middle East as well as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Battle on Terror was ramping up on our own soil–aimed not at terrorists but at financial migrants, refugees, and households from South and Central America searching for jobs, security, and independence in the U.S.

But we are no safer. Instead, households are getting ripped aside, undocumented folks are living in fear, and a large number of migrants have died in detention or crossing the boundary.

Taking readers towards the Border Patrol outposts, unmarked graves, detention centers, and halls of power, Sand and Bloodstream is a terrifying, essential story we should not ignore.
