Book excerpt: In July 2016 Stop Wapenhandel and TNI published the report 'Border Wars: the arms dealers profiting from Europe's refugee tragedy. 'The report revealed:" how the European policy response to refugees has led to a booming border securitymarket building fences, providing equipment for border guards and establishingsurveillance systems;" the same industry selling arms to the Middle-East and North-Africa, fuelling the conflicts, repression and human rights abuses that have led refugees to flee their homes is alsothe key winner of EU border security contracts;" how the arms and security industry helps shape European border security policy, through lobbying, regular interactions with EU's border institutions and its shaping ofresearch policy;This briefing takes a look at the most important further steps taken in 2016, including the conversionof the European border security agency Frontex into an European Border and Coast Guard, givenadditional responsibilities and powers, as well as the migration deal with Turkey. This report finds that:" the refugee toll in 2016 (4700 known people have died crossing the Mediterranean sea)is higher than 2015 even though the total number of refugees entering Europe fell, because the EU's border security policies are predicated on stopping people enteringEurope through the most common migration routes, which has led people to undertakeever more dangerous routes;" European nations, in particular UK, France, Belgium and Spain, have continued to exportin 2016 to the Middle East and North Africa, most notably to Saudi Arabia despite itsinvolvement in conflicts in Syria and Yemen that have led to war crimes and fueled theflow refugees;" Budgets for border security continue to boom at a rapid rate. Frontex' budget in 2016,€238.7 million, marked a 67.4% increase compared to the €142.6 million in 2015. Itis expected to grow to an estimated €322 million in 2020, 50 times its budget of €6.3million in 2005. The 2016 budget for the EU's Internal Security Fund was similarlyincreased by €116.4 million in October 2015 to a total of €647.5 million;" A substantial proportion of these budgets have benefited arms and security corporationsin a border security market that is growing at roughly 8% a year. Airbus, Leonardo, Safran and Thales were all in the news in 2016 for border security contracts. IT firmsIndra, Advent and ATOS won significant contracts for projects to identify and track refugees;Border Wars II: An update on the arms industry profiting from Europe's refugee tragedy | 2" Security fences at Europe's borders have expanded considerably - in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Macedonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey and Ukraine -accompanied by frequent reports of violence against refugees by border security guardsas well as by extreme-right militias (sometimes in collaboration with police);" the EU is greatly increasing its military operations on its borders, sometimes incollaboration with NATO, through various missions, Sophia (Libya), Triton (Greece), Poseidon (Italy), Hera, Indalo and Minerva (Spain);" the transformation of the European border agency, Frontex, into the European Borderand Coastguard Agency, grants new centralised powers to purchase equipment andintervene directly in states' border affairs (without requiring approval) that is alreadydiminishing accountability for the impact of EU member states action on its borders;" the EU continued its work to externalise its borders, announced the launch of a newMigration Partnership Framework, that includes working on agreements with 16 targetedcountries for cooperation to prevent refugees migrating, including countries such asSomalia, Eritrea and Sudan, nation states involved in armed conflicts and severe humanrights abuses.

Download or read book Border Wars of Texas written by James T. DeShields and published by . This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texas has always lived up to its nickname of the Lone Star state; its rough, tough frontier status and its constant wars with Mexicans and American Indians made it the epitome of the Wild West.This classic account of the border wars of white settlers against the Indians was written in 1912, when the conflicts were well within living memory, and its style reflects the triumphalist view of America's Anglo-Saxon manifest destiny, and its God-given right to lord it over 'inferior' savages'. None the less, DeShields supports the conciliatory policies of Texas's favourite son, Sam Houston.DeShields' work, which used Texas' earliest historical sources such as John Henry Brown, John W. Wilbarger, and Henderson King Yoakum, is made invaluable by his extensive use of other primary source material such as his numerous turn-of-the-century interviews and correspondence with early Texas Rangers and frontiersmen who were yet living. Many of his accounts are found nowhere else in publications of Texas history and thus provide fresh insights into the history of Texas' wars against the Indians.

Download or read book End Zones and Border Wars written by Ed Willes and published by Harbour Publishing Company. This book was released on 2013 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: End Zones and Border Wars is the story of the CFL's ill-fated period of expansion into the United States during the early to mid- 1990s. It was a time filled with intriguing characters, from John Candy to Nick Mileti to Pepper Rodgers, the coach who loved everything about the Canadian game except the rules and the teams. With a cast of investors who are hopeful but unfamiliar with the game, bizarre stories emerge, from the Las Vegas Posse practising in the parking lot of the Riviera to the Shreveport Pirates camping out above a barn full of circus animals. The CFL's attempts to push the Canadian game into expanded territory brought both heartbreak and victory, with the 1994 Grey Cup victory of the BC Lions coming alongside the quick decline of every American club under low sales and resistance to new rules. The CFL survived these turbulent times to the harsh realization that it is a game for Canada alone, breaking through to a promising new era for the venerable institution.

Download or read book Border Wars written by Julie Hirschfeld Davis and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. 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. As he seeks reelection in 2020, Trump has elevated immigration 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 changes that have further polarized the nation. “[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).

Download or read book The Three U S Mexico Border Wars written by Tony Payan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the three central issues that continue to dominate the U.S.-Mexico relationship today: drugs, immigration, and security. Nowhere is this more palpable than at the 2,000-mile border shared by the two countries. The U.S.-Mexico border remains a hot topic in the news—and a contentious one. This second edition of a popular work brings readers up to date on what is really going on at the U.S.-Mexico border and why. The book offers a detailed, history-based examination of the evolution of current conditions on the border, arguing that they exist due to a steady growth in the security concerns of the United States over almost two centuries. The author shows how the border has gone through four historical stages that, ultimately, have crippled the region, sacrificing its ability to produce prosperity in exchange for greater security. Combining depth and breadth, the book covers the economic relationship between Mexico and the United States, the deployment of technology, the bureaucratic interests that control the border landscape, the democratic deficit, and a detrimental lack of policy coordination. Issues such as drug trafficking and homeland security are considered as well. Demonstrating the internal and contradictory logic of American policy toward the border, the author argues that current conditions could lead to a return of authoritarianism in Mexico and a concurrent rise in anti-American sentiment.

Download or read book The Second World Wars written by Victor Davis Hanson and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive account of World War II by America's preeminent military historian. World War II was the most lethal conflict in human history. Never before had a war been fought on so many diverse landscapes and in so many different ways, from rocket attacks in London to jungle fighting in Burma to armor strikes in Libya. The Second World Wars examines how combat unfolded in the air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war. Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, bestselling author Victor Davis Hanson argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war, they had no hope of victory. An authoritative new history of astonishing breadth, The Second World Wars offers a stunning reinterpretation of history's deadliest conflict.

Download or read book America s Covert Border War written by Todd Bensman and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thirteen-year work of journalism finally settles one of the nation’s most controversial and politically powerful ideas about the American southern border: that Islamic jihadists might infiltrate it and commit terrorist acts. Perhaps no other idea about the border has sown more conflict, claims, counterclaims, rebuttals, and false narratives on all sides. This book provides a first comprehensive neutral baseline of truth about the threat, goring oxen on both sides of the partisan divide. It documents an ambitious and intrigue-laden covert American war on terror effort that stretches from the Mexican border to the tip of South America. Its existence to protect the homeland from terrorist infiltration was often regarded as entirely imagined—until migrating jihadists recently started killing and wounding hundreds in Europe. Americans concerned by unchecked global migration, porous borders, and national security also may feel surprised to learn that thousands of long-haul migrants from the Islamic world similarly breach the US-Mexican border each year—among them hardened jihadists—despite media insistence that none of this traffic exists. It does. The secret American campaign has prevented land border infiltration attack on US soil, safeguarding an unknowing nation—so far—from Europe’s bloody ongoing experience. But this geographically sprawling effort is suffering from denialism and neglect at America’s peril…just as Europe was before its calamity. How much longer can these programs keep America safe without the public recognition that they exist and the needed care and attention that acknowledgment would bring? This book is much more than revelation and complaint; it provides solutions to better protect the homeland from this chronically misunderstood border threat.
