First Part is Interesting

The first 160 pages of this book are well worth reading, because the author describes his experiences as a US Border Patrol Agent working in Arizona and Texas. He takes the reader into the front lines of the immigration crisis, and writes with great clarity and sensitivity. He also gives the reader some history about how the US-Mexican Border was created. Other reviewers have rightly praised this part of the book . After he leaves the Border Patrol, however, the book becomes a advocacy tract for better treatment of undocumented US residents. While I sympathize with this view, this does not make for interesting reading, made worse by strange interludes of psychology, including the author's dreams.
