In places like Argentina, Kosovo, Honduras, Jordan and Afghanistan, US border patrol works alongside local agents to block migrants, terrorists, drug runners and smugglers from ever approaching the US. Empire of Borders traces the rise of this border regime, along with practices of “extreme vetting” and the vast global industry for border and homeland security. But in visiting the Jordan/Syria border, as well as Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Kenya, Palestine, Mexico and the Philippines, Miller finds instead a global war against the poor.

Industry Reviews
"Todd Miller's Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border Around the World couldn't have come at a better time." - Belen Fernandez, Jacobin
"While exploring the deep historical roots of the oppression wrought by the borders of modern nation-states, Miller's book is also forward facing. In a world where more people than ever are on the move, this is an urgent, crucial proposal that demands a change not only in policies, but in systems and the oppressive structures that drive them." - Laura Weiss, Los Angeles Review of Books
