The book reveals much about how Trump thinks, why he instinctively 'grasped for the solution that looked toughest,' and, in hair-raising insider detail, how he governs from day to day. If journalism is the first draft of history, this volume is a solid second draft., A vivid, revelatory account of President Trump's attempts to overhaul the U.S. immigration system. . . . Davis and Shear's fast-paced, richly detailed narrative underscores the chaos surrounding the White House without minimizing the fact that it's now 'more dangerous and costly to be undocumented' in America than it has been in decades. The result is an essential inquiry into Trump's bet that his 'take-no-prisoners' approach to immigration will win him the 2020 election., Essential reading for those searching for the 'beating heart' of the Trump administration. . . . Davis and Shear are scrupulously fair reporters. . . . [They] are right: Immigration demagogy is at the 'heart' of the Trump show -- and the Trump show is at the heart of our tragic decline as a civil and humane society., A stark account of the Trump administration's ongoing attempts to disembowel the nation's immigration policy. . . . Border Wars is more than simply a book about his administration's strategizing and ill-fated efforts to make this happen. The book also reveals the rampant dysfunction within the administration. . . . Border Wars avoids polemics in favor of a fact-based account of what precipitated some of this administration's more brazen assaults on immigration. . . . Hirschfeld Davis and Shear had only to state the facts and allow readers to draw their own conclusions. Trump had already taken care of impaling himself.

Synopsis
Two New York Times Washington correspondents provide an inside account with never-before-told stories of the defining issue of Donald Trump's presidency: his steadfast opposition to immigration to the US. 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. 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. As the authors reveal, 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. Moreover, his comments about legal immigrants--Nigerians in their "huts," Haitians infected with AIDS, and people from "@#$%hole countries"--have been incendiary. 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., Two New York Times Washington correspondents provide a detailed, " fact-based account of what precipitated some of this administration's more brazen assaults on immigration" ( The Washington Post ) filled with never-before-told stories of this key issue of Donald Trump's presidency. No issue matters more to Donald Trump and his administration than restricting immigration. Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear have covered the Trump administration from its earliest days. In Border Wars , they take us inside the White House to document how Stephen Miller and other anti-immigration officials 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. Their revelation of Trump's desire for a border moat filled with alligators made national news.

" Davis and Shear's] exquisitely reported Border Wars reveals the shattering horror of the moment, and] the mercurial unreliability and instability of the president" ( The New York Times Book Review )., The real story behind Trump's decision to separate families at the border, unleashing one of the ugliest chapters in the history of immigration in America. How President Trump, in a rage about migrants, came within 24 hours of shutting down the entire border with Mexico, and the mad scramble by his top aides to stop him-an effort that touched off a purge inside the Department of Homeland Security. The president's fixation with finding ways to physically punish migrants who try to cross illegally into the United States by constructing a wall that would shock, cut, and burn them. How Stephen Miller created his own secret immigration think tank inside the West Wing to churn out measures to restrict and penalize immigrants, but ultimately turned against his ideological allies when they found ideas too extreme. How Trump's inner circle, rushing to issue executive orders and suspicious of "deep state" bureaucrats, skipped a national security review of the "Muslim travel ban" and pressured skeptical Justice Department officials to sign off on it.
