“The Guatemalan border with Chiapas is now our southern border.”
Alan Bersin, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary, 2012,
...this country’s borders have, in a sense, undergone a kind of expansion not just into southern Mexico...but also into parts of Central America and South America, the Caribbean, and other areas of the world. As Bersin put it, there had been a post-9/11 shift to emphasizing the policing not just of the literal U.S. border but of global versions of the same, a massive, if underreported, “paradigm change.”
