Reece Jones, political geographer from the University of Hawaii Manoa, discusses how borders across the developed world have become more militarized as the economy has become more interconnected, and how the US has inadvertently created a nationalized police force whose powers extend further into the country than most Americans realize.
Reece's most recent book, White Borders: The History of Race and Immigration from the Chinese Exclusion Act to the Border Wall, can be purchased here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/676268/white-borders-by-reece-jones/) For additional commentary on this episode and other issues of the day, sign up for YDHTY's email newsletter at www.ydhty.com/news
