This was the body of a beautiful young woman, conventionally an object of desire, and yet it was a body from which all desire had been eliminated.
Han Kang, The Vegetarian

Notably, during this era, the notion of illegal immigration did not conjure the same political and legal consequences that it would after 1965 [...] The southern border of the United States was not militarized or guarded in the manner it would become in the late twentieth century, and seasonal, uncapped migration from Mexico was an accepted and expected labor reality.
Pratheepan Gulasekaram, The New Immigration Federalism
