Immigration, the Borderlands, and the Resilient Homeland

Edited by Yoku Shaw-Taylor - Contributions by Lorraine McCall; Lars Karlsson; Philip Kretsedemas; Maria Burns; Thomas P.M. Barnett; Alan Bersin; Christopher M. Ellis; William Rials; Thomas Russo; Olivia A. Scriven and Meagan van Harte

This title combines original research, case studies, and synoptic analysis to cover highly charged topics in America today. Each chapter in this edited volume offers conditional responses to three essential questions about the disciplinary status of homeland security: What are the domain’s central problems? What research methods are best able to address those problems? What has research contributed to addressing homeland security’s core problems?

The volume is divided into two main sections.

Part I: Immigration and Management covers topics such as:

  • Immigration enforcement
  • Illegal crossing
  • Border security
  • Gaps in securing the borderland

Part II: The Resilient Homeland addresses issues such as

  • Lessons learned from the pandemic
  • Disaster recovery and preparedness
  • Public health
  • Cybersecurity

This publication bridges knowledge from various topics related to homeland security into one volume.

Yoku Shaw-Taylor serves as the lead author of this book. He is an Applied Sociologist with a PhD from George Washington University. He was Research Scientist at the NORC, University of Chicago, and an Operations Research Analyst (Contractor) at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. He is the author of Immigration, Assimilation, and Border Security also published by Bernan Press.

The other contributors to this volume are all experts in their field. They are affiliated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence: Borders, Trade, and Immigration Institute, a consortium led by the University of Houston and, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence: Coastal Resilience Center, a consortium led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. There are new findings from researchers who previously worked or currently work at the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or the New York City Health Department. There is also analysis from a consultant previously affiliated the World Customs Organization, and new information from professors or instructors with ties to University of Massachusetts, Tulane University, and Louisiana State University.

PART I: IMMIGRATION AND BORDER MANAGEMENT

Chapter 1: The Curious History of U.S. Immigration Enforcement, 1981–2020: A Tale of Institutional Inertia and Administrative and Volatility

Chapter 2: Border Management, Immigration and Trade: The Convergence

Chapter 3: Capability Gaps in CBP’s Operations

Chapter 4: The Limits of Physical Borders: Transactional Crime and the Underworld of Globalization

Chapter 5: Unauthorized Immigration: Illegal Crossings and Apprehensions at the Southwest Border, and the Border Wall

" Immigration, the Borderlands, and the Resilient Homeland adds to the stream of rigorous homeland security research. The book brings conceptual, methodological, and practical advances to the quest for relevance and utility in homeland security scholarship. This book will be of most interest to policymakers and to readers who care whether homeland security is an academic discipline. The chapters are about subjects that have a claim to be at the center of the homeland security project. These topics include immigration, border management, international trade, transnational crime, globalization, resilience, public health, disaster recovery, and cyber security."


— Christopher Bellavita, academic programs director, Center for Homeland Defense and Security, Naval Postgraduate School


“Immigration, the Borderlands, and the Resilient Homeland is a significant contribution to U.S. homeland security studies. The textbook effectively juxtaposes border security and immigration with societal resilience and current events, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This text offers unique value to college courses that seek to integrate theoretical, conceptual, and practical approaches to border security and immigration policy.”


— John Comiskey, EdD, associate professor, Monmouth University, and editor, Journal of Security, Intelligence, and Resilience Education
