The Border: Exploring the US-Mexican Divide

David Danelo

October 27, 2008

For the past two years, David Danelo (www.danelo.com) traveled expensively along the entire length of the US- Mexico border, exploring both sides of the international line from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. He interviewed Border Patrol agents, local politicians, immigration activists, deported migrants, religious officials, and ordinary citizens, discovering in the process many things worth sharing. Danelo served for seven years in the US Marine Corps, serving in 2004 near Fallujah in Iraq with the First Marine Expeditionary Force. His articles have appeared in Parade Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Post, and the Marine Corps Gazette; his first book, Blood Stripes: The Grunt’s View of the War in Iraq, was published in 2006.
