As his campaign rhetoric in the 2018 midterms demonstrated, no issue matters more to Donald Trump than immigration. And no issue-with the possible exception of his opposition to Robert Mueller's investigation of his 2016 campaign-better defines his administration.
New York Times journalists Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear have covered the Trump administration from its earliest days. In "Border Wars," they take readers inside the White House to document how Trump and his allies blocked asylum-seekers and refugees, separated families, threatened deportation and sought to erode the longstanding bipartisan consensus that immigration and immigrants make positive contributions to America.
Trump has used immigration to stoke fears ("the caravan"), attack Democrats and the courts, and distract from negative news and political difficulties. Even as illegal immigration has fallen in recent years, Trump has elevated it in the imaginations of many Americans into a national crisis.
"Border Wars" identifies the players behind Trump's anti-immigration policies, showing how they planned, stumbled and fought their way toward major immigration changes that have further polarized the nation. This definitive, behind-the-scenes account is filled with previously unreported stories that reveal how Trump's decision-making is driven by gut instinct and marked by disorganization, paranoia and a constantly feuding staff.
Julie Hirschfeld Davis is a congressional correspondent at The New York Times who has covered politics from Washington for 19 years.
Michael D. Shear is a White House correspondent in the Washington bureau for The New York Times.
