Our former editor at Long Island Wins, Ted Hesson, just posted a great piece on the ways immigration law enforcement has changed since 9-11. Here is the opening, but you can read the full article here.

After a series of free trade agreements realigned economies in Mexico and Central America, millions of migrants headed to northern Mexico and the U.S. looking for work.
