What does the U.S. border enforcement policy look like at the fence? Why do people risk their lives to trek the Sonora desert to try to work in the United States? Is Operation Streamline, a zero tolerance federal court trial for undocumented immigrants, constitutionally valid? Questions of policy, migration strategies, and legal validity permeate my classes on immigration. Students will travel to the U.S./Mexico border to experience, record, and reflect on the repercussions of U.S. immigration and border enforcement policy in the Tucson/Nogales area. The goal is to begin to understand the nuances of this immigration and our policy response by observing the day to day activities that constitute the minutiae of a policy's impact upon both the people who migrate and the people who enforce the policy. This short trip focuses on experiential learning rather than evaluating the research of others. Students will use interviews, videos, photographs, poetry, and essays to attempt to gain an understanding of the impact of U.S. enforcement policy and the militarization of the border on all of our lives. They will prepare public presentations to share their findings.
