AcknowledgmentsxixAbiqui ú , you have guided me toward a new understanding of love andliberation. I want to walk beside you always.As this book goes to press, President Obama has deported two millionpeople. The immigrant rights movement is mobilizing across the countryto demand an end to deportations and meaningful immigration policyreform. Yet the so-called comprehensive immigration reform bills thatCongress is debating begin with $46 billion for the deadly political theaterof border militarization: more walls, drones, and Border Patrol agents; moredeaths, detentions, and deportations. In the face of such cruel absurdity,I only hope that this book can contribute in some small way to the longstruggle for freedom of movement, social justice, and respect for the planeton which we all live and move, born sin patr ó n y sin fronteras . 1
