Enforcing Order on the Border: Race, Policing, and Immigration Enforcement in South Texas by Eric Gamino is a sociological and criminological study of immigration enforcement in the United States-Mexico borderlands, with particular attention to South Texas. The book examines how policing, race, immigration control, and local identity intersect in a region where federal border policy is carried out through everyday encounters. Its distinctive feature is its autoethnographic approach: Gamino writes from the position of a scholar who also served for eleven years as a Texas police officer and is the child of Mexican immigrants. This perspective allows the book to connect institutional analysis with lived experience, especially the moral tensions faced by officers who enforce policies affecting communities close to their own histories. Rather than treating immigration enforcement only as a security practice, the book considers it as a system that organizes belonging, movement, suspicion, and social boundaries.
