This title combines original research, case studies, and synoptic analysis to cover highly charged topics in America today. The volume is divided into two sections; the first section combines immigration and the borderlands, which covers immigration enforcement, border security and trade, illegal crossings at the border, gaps in securing the borderlands, globalization and transnational crime, and reassessment of border theory. Under the second section, Resilient Homeland, the reader can find information on topics such as: a profile of the resilient citizen, lessons learned from the response to the pandemic, disaster recovery and preparedness, mistrust of public health as a threat to resilience, community disaster recovery, and top cybersecurity concerns.
