Josh Kun,

Migration, Ethnicity, and Economy

Three years ago, I was standing on the beach in Tijuana in front of the rusting border wall that runs across the sand into the sea. The wall was made from corrugated metal recycled from a Persian Gulf landing strip, and through the gaps in its beams I could see an Immigration Naturalization Service truck parked and ready-to-chase in the shadow of a brush-covered hill. By my side was Alex Zuñiga, the drummer for Tijuana NO, a local tijuanero punk band who have been screaming at la migra, Pete Wilson, and other honorary members of those they have been calling the "gringo Klu Klux Klanes" since 1992.
