Mexifornia
A State of Becoming
Book • 2003
Part history, part political analysis, and part memoir, 'Mexifornia' is an intensely personal work by Victor Davis Hanson.
The book explores how massive illegal immigration from Mexico has altered California and the entire nation over the past quarter century.
Hanson admires the ambition and vigor of immigrants but criticizes the disordered immigration policies that have led to the current situation.
He highlights the harm these policies cause to both the immigrants and the broader American society, while remaining hopeful that traditions of integration, assimilation, and intermarriage can remedy the predicament created by politicians and ideologues.
