"Side A of the work depict [sic] fences and map of the entire US/Mexico border from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico with symbolic migrants/asylum seekers reinforcing it ... the book is laser printed ... The drawings are from elementary school children. Designed and bound by the artist."--Colophon.

"The information on these pages was culled from books and articles from various newspapers, internet and magazines. The work highlights material on the border wall, results of government prejudices, policies and disregards of human rights. This country is made up of immigrants like myself and it is richer for it. Destroying the diversity of who we are as a nation, questioning Roosevelt's four freedoms, disregarding damage to the environment, Native American burial grounds, etc., for the purpose of satisfying one's ego and to grab power on the back of defenseless people."--Colophon.

Includes the poem The new colossus by Emma Lazarus.
