Victor Davis Hanson, known for his military histories and his social commentary, is a fifth-generation Californian who lives on a family farm in the Central Valley and has written eloquent elegies on the decline of agrarianism, \u003ci\u003eFields Without Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Land Was Everything\u003c\/i\u003e. Here too, he ponders what has changed in California over the past quarter century, examining how the state and the Southwest more broadly--indeed, the entire nation--have been altered by hemorrhaging borders. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHanson admires the ambition and vigor of immigrants who have helped make California strong, but he indicts the disordered immigration policies that led to the present mess. He also illuminates the ways those policies are harmful to people who have come from Mexico and Central America seeking a better life in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNearly twenty years after the first publication of \u003ci\u003eMexifornia\u003c\/i\u003e, Hanson offers an update on the continuing tragedy of illegal immigration. At the same time, he remains hopeful that our traditions of integration, assimilation, and intermarriage may yet remedy a predicament created by politicians and ideologues.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictor Davis Hanson is a classicist at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and a professor emeritus of California State University, Fresno.
