In Mexifornia, author Victor Davis Hanson ponders what has changed in California over the last quarter-century. His con-cern is how the state, the Southwest, and indeed the entire nation have been altered by America’s hemorr-haging borders and how our disordered immigration policies are perhaps most harmful to the Mexican immigrants who come seeking a better life.
While Mexifornia is a look at the ambition and vigor of people who have made California strong, it is also an indictment of the policies that got California into its present mess and that could also affect Americans who inhabit “Mexizona,” “Mexichusetts” and other states of becoming.
Hanson, a professor of classics at Cal State Fresno and a columnist for NATIONAL REVIEW, lives on the land his family has farmed for generations. This work is a clear examination of the present situation regarding illegal immigration from Mexico. Although the author gives several possible solutions to the problem, his main contention is that the only wise course of action is to assimilate the immigrants into the larger culture, as happened with other waves of immigrants in our nation's past. James has a steady and calm voice. Adroit with both Spanish and English, he is appropriately expressive throughout this production. M.T.F. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
