“The words on that hazy, pixelated monitor were burned into my brain. Obviously not exactly what he'd intended to say, but I understood well enough what he was suggesting. I’d just attempted the weakest bribe of all time to a post-Soviet officer.”

“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.”
