How did we get to this point? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eIllegal\u003c\/i\u003e, Elizabeth F. Cohen reveals that our current crisis has roots in early twentieth century white nationalist politics, which began to reemerge in the 1980s. Since then, ICE and CBP have acquired bigger budgets and more power than any other law enforcement agency. Now, Trump has unleashed them. If we want to reverse the rising tide of abuse, Cohen argues that we must act quickly to rein in the powers of the current immigration regime and revive saner approaches based on existing law. Going beyond the headlines, \u003ci\u003eIllegal\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear that if we don't act now all of us, citizen and not, are at risk.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth F.
