dc.description.extractThis essay traces the ways in which the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) on the U.S.-Mexico border made and re-made the nation’s immigration laws. In so doing, I argue that the ins in the borderlands functioned not only as a law enforcement agency but also as a lawmaking body: the agency not only implemented the nation’s immigration laws, it also made them. These lawmaking endeavors furnished local agency officials with the means to endure the numerous challenges surrounding immigration law enforcement on the U.S.-Mexico border. These included a lack of support from policymakers in Washington, D.C.; intra-agency conflicts and debates; tremendous opposition from border residents, including Asian, European, Mexican, and U.S. American nationals living on both sides of the line; and the seemingly unachievable task of policing the rugged terrain of the 2,000- mile international boundary. In the face of these obstacles, southwestern agency officials amended, nullified, and even drafted the nation’s immigration legislation, producing new laws and policies for the border region. As early as 1920, the agency’s resort to legal innovations was so extensive that one local immigration leader observed that a “sectional immigration policy existed in the borderlands (Bureau of Immigration, 1920).
