My dissertation is about how and why Mexico and the United States have policed their common border. I work from the premise that the U.S.-Mexico divide is a global oddity---as the most heavily policed border between non-hostile countries in the world, there is nowhere else like it on earth. I begin my study in the decades after the U.S.-Mexican War, and over the course of seven chapters I analyze the rise, consolidation, and expansion of federal law enforcement organizations on both sides of the border. Each chapter examines a particularly intense border policing initiative. In particular I write about attempts to police mobile Native Americans in the 1880s, disaffected revolutionaries from Mexico in the 1910s, Foot-and-Mouth Disease infected cattle in the 1940s, guest workers in the 1950s, and marijuana smuggling in the 1960s. One of my most startling discoveries---which helps explain the exceptionalism of the U.S.-Mexico border---is the high degree of collaboration, cooperation, and agreement between U.S. and Mexican policing agencies. The federal governments of the United States and Mexico have in large part worked together to define and respond to border "threats," effectively creating a bilateral policing apparatus that has helped shape and expand the power of the state in both countries. My research demonstrates that U.S.-Mexico relations---and by extension, Mexican American history---can no longer be understood as regional curiosities or addenda to U.S. history. I argue that the best way to see this largely invisible relationship is to pay attention to policing organizations in both the U.S. and Mexico and the ways in which they have worked together along the border. My central contention is that U.S. and Mexican history are mutually constitutive; neither can be fully comprehended without the other. My research reveals that, counterintuitively, the extraordinary number of police in the borderland demonstrates the closeness of the U.S. and Mexico, not their distance.
