Hostile Border by Thomas D. Potter (English) Paperback Book

Description: Hostile Border by Thomas D. Potter This book is about a serious national problem...illegal immigration. It is a fictional dramatization of real issues. The people are not real. They could be. The institutions are not real. They could be. The crimes are real, and they occur every day. The threat to our national sovereignty is real, and it hangs over our head every minute of every hour. J. C. Salter, as president of the United States, deals with the issue in a presidential manner, marshaling the resources available to him to make the border secure. John Carl Salter, as he was known, was a devil may care youth with an excellent mind and an admirable sports ability, the first of which he did not use, and the second of which he did. Until, that is, he began to think about the real issues facing America and entered politics. After successfully running for governor of Arizona, he divorced his unstable first wife and ran for president. Despite his ex-wifes denunciation, and his advisers belief, he was successful. During his campaign, he met and fell in love with a beautiful young married woman who grew up near the border with Mexico. Her marriage was in shambles, but their love and her passion for the Arizona border culture caused JC to recognize the border issue to be the most important issue facing America. His warm relationship with the President of Mexico grew out of the two presidents conviction that the US Mexican border must be secured with peaceful military controls before it had to be resolved with active military operations. Their agreement met hostile and violent opposition from both sides of the border. The opposition would stop at nothing to prevent the achievement of a secure border, and each president was personally threatened by violent elements in his own country.
