Borders—technological, international, and in other forms—still matter a great deal.
, a book about his travels through Mexico in the 1930s, the English novelist Graham Greene wrote: “The border means more than a customs house, a passport officer, a man with a gun. Over there everything is going to be different; life is never going to be quite the same again after your passport has been stamped.”
That 2,000-mile-long border to the south remains a particularly nettlesome riddle. I can’t turn on the television in Arizona without seeing campaign commercials featuring a candidate standing by the border, promising to finish the wall, mobilize the military, dig ditches, unspool barbed wire, or do whatever else is necessary to “secure” the porous line in the sand and protect us from its unspeakable dangers and from their opponents espousing a Reaganesque “open border.
