Requests:  0 Summary:  "Howard G. Buffett has seen first-hand the devastating impact of cheap Mexican heroin and other opiate cocktails across America. Fueled by failing border policies and lawlessness in Mexico and Central America, drugs are pouring over the nation's southern border in record quantities, turning Americans into addicts and migrants into drug mules--and killing us in record numbers. Politicians talk about a border crisis and an opioid crisis as separate issues. To Buffett, a landowner on the U.S. border with Mexico and now the sheriff of Macon County, Illinois, the two are intimately connected. Ineffective border policies not only put residents in border states like Texas and Arizona in harm's way, they put American lives in states such as Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont at risk. Mexican cartels have grown astonishingly powerful by exploiting both the gaps in our border security strategy and the desperation of migrants--all while profiting enormously off America's growing addiction to drugs. The solution isn't a wall. In this groundbreaking and vivid book, Buffett takes readers to the rugged terrain of the Arizona and Texas border country, where the drama and heartbreak of drug smuggling and migrant crossings play out every day. He also takes us to Mexico and El Salvador, showing how devastating poverty and cartel violence spur migration. Supplemented by sixteen pages of Buffett's own photography, [this book] outlines a realistic, effective, and bipartisan approach to fighting cartels, strengthening our national security, and tackling the roots of the chaos south of the border."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.28409 Bu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.28409 Bu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.28409 Bu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.28409 Bu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.28409 Bu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.28409 Bu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
