This topic has intimidated politicians, created racial rifts among our communities, and has left us just as divided as we were during the Civil War. And that divide is growing.

Livy has literally lived on both sides of the fence and on the topic of immigration.

With increasing numbers of people on the move as a result, the business of containing them - border fortification - is booming.
