Zusammenfassung:Part of a special issue on neoliberalism, militarism, and armed conflict. In an interview, Maria Jimenez, director of the Immigration Law Enforcement Monitoring Project in Houston, Texas, discusses the strategy of low-intensity conflict evident along the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Topics discussed include the changes that have been made in law enforcement on the border; whether these changes have caused a decrease in the numbers trying to cross the border; changes she hopes to see in immigration policy from the Bush administration; the challenges faced by communities on the border and those who try to cross the border; and the reason why Mexicans try to cross the border into the U.S.
