The dominant narrative, repeated in the media and from the angry mouths of politicians and activists, is the exact opposite of the reality. They paint a portrait of an America rife with racial and ethnic division, where minorities are mired in a poverty worse than slavery, and white people stand at the top of an unfairly stacked pyramid of privilege. Jason D. Hill corrects the narrative in this powerfully eloquent book. Dr. Hill came to America at the age of twenty from Jamaica and, rather than being faced with intractable racial bigotry, Hill found a land of bountiful opportunity.

His parents, village, and Panama Canal Zone events prepared him. Above and beyond his tribulations, this Afro-Latino Caribbean man did not allow racism to stop his smile, resolve, or journey forward. Walk with him through his eyes.

As Jacob Hornberger details in this primer, there is one solution to this border morass. That solution is “open borders” — genuine open borders — that is, the dissolution of the Border Patrol, ICE, and all restrictions on the free movements of goods, services, and people across our international borders. This book shows that not only are open borders the only solution to the ongoing, never-ending, perpetual crisis, chaos, suffering, death, and immigration police state along the border, they are also the only solution that is consistent with religious, free-market, and moral principles as well.
