A New Book Reckons With the Border Crisis, in All Its Complexity

2021 National Fellow Jonathan Blitzer's book, Everyone Who is Gone is Here, was reviewed in the New York Times.

As Jonathan Blitzer shows in Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here, his timely and instructive history of the immigration crisis, the trouble at the border isn’t likely to be solved soon, since it is the outcome of a long and vexed entanglement between the United States and its southern neighbors. In the past decade, those crossing have shifted from Mexicans looking for work to Central Americans and others seeking asylum. The deplorable results include unaccompanied children, family separations and refugee encampments.
