Gamino reveals how the concept of race functions within a predominantly Latino-origin community. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGamino unpacks the interplay between local police, federal immigration officials, and civilians as they encounter immigration. \u003ci\u003eEnforcing Order on the Border \u003c\/i\u003eillustrates how institutional practices such as immigration enforcement occur on the South Texas-Mexico borderlands as collaborative eff orts between local police and the U.S. Border Patrol from an institutional perspective. Consequently, this collaborative eff ort in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands creates a distinctive method of policing, which he tellingly refers to as \"constitution-free policing.\" Gamino provides a unique perspective on how the concept of race in a predominantly Latino-origin community complicates intraracial\/intraethnic relations on the South Texas-Mexico borderlands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Gamino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820373923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820373928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Eric Gamino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47071977603327,"sku":"9780820373928","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37606f66-dfcb-40ab-9996-1ef1ae615ac5.jpg?v=1753415448","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enforcing-order-on-the-border-eric-gamino-9780820373928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
