Dear readers, Some four years ago, we started BORDER/LINES as an effort to be something of a bridge, one between the often surface-level daily coverage of significant shifts in immigration policy and practice and the detailed but somewhat inscrutable primary documents and legal writing around these shifts.

Your newsletter was vital to me as a way to help me digest the news and then deliver the main points to the students in my "Spanish in the Community" course at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

I too hope to see something new from you at some point.
