NYT journalist Jazmine Ulloa connects Trump-era policies to a century of border history

NYT journalist Jazmine Ulloa explores the connection between Trump-era policies and a century of border history in her new book. The author argues that current immigration crackdowns are not isolated events but instead echo specific enforcement tactics that date back to the early 1900s. By analyzing these historical patterns, Ulloa demonstrates how modern border strategies mirror long-standing approaches to immigration control, linking contemporary political actions to a broader historical trajectory of enforcement within the United States.
