This second edition of the award-winning book "Alligators in the Moat" gives the reader a more thorough view of the dysfunctional position the United States has put itself in on the border it shares with Mexico. The first edition won the New Mexico-Arizona Book Award for best non-fiction Ebook. This book contains two new chapters that provide a history of little known amnesty legislation put into place by presidents from both parties over the last thirty years. This book will also give the reader a better understanding of why Trump's wall will never be built and will explain that in spite of President Trump's best and most patriotic efforts his lack of understanding of the true border dynamic has kept the border insecure. Warning: The contents of this book will shock you.
