Up Against the Wall
The Case for Opening the Mexican-American Border
The book offers a step-by-step blueprint of radical proposals for the U.S.-Mexican border that go far beyond traditional initiatives to ease restrictions on immigration.
Up Against the Wall provides the background to understanding how the border has become a fraud, resulting in nothing more than the criminalisation of Mexican and other migrants. The book argues that the border with Mexico should be completely open for Mexicans wishing to travel north.
