So, a lot of this modern history of collaboration between the US and the DR immigration enforcement is recorded in Todd Miller's Border Patrol Nation and Empire of Borders both of which I recommend everyone go read.
The best things said about it
I mean the I everyone should read Empire of Borders. Everyone should read Border Patrol Nation.
Why people recommend it
Border Patrol Nation by Todd Miller is an investigative book that examines the expansion of border enforcement, the militarization of immigration policies, and the complex collaboration between governments in managing migration and security. The publication is highly recommended by journalists and researchers focusing on human rights and state power. On consecutive episodes of the Behind the Bastards podcast, Carlos Berrios Polanco and Robert Evans both urged listeners to read the book alongside the author's companion work, Empire of Borders. Berrios Polanco noted that the modern history of immigration enforcement collaboration between the United States and the Dominican Republic is meticulously documented in these pages. Meanwhile, Robert Evans emphasized the importance of the text while discussing how the Department of Homeland Security continuously externalizes its borders and exercises sweeping enforcement powers abroad. Both speakers presented the book as essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the grim realities, historical roots, and modern mechanisms of state-sanctioned border policing and immigration control in the Western Hemisphere.
