    Content: ""A beautiful, fiercely honest, and nevertheless deeply empathetic look at those who police the border and the migrants who risk - and lose - their lives crossing it. In a time of often ill-informed or downright deceitful political rhetoric, this book is an invaluable corrective."...Phil Klay For Francisco Cantú the border is in the blood: his mother, a park ranger and daughter of a Mexican immigrant, raised him in the scrublands of the Southwest. Haunted by the landscape of his youth, Cantú joins the Border Patrol. He and his partners are posted to remote regions crisscrossed by drug routes and smuggling corridors, where they learn to track other humans under blistering sun and through frigid nights. They haul in the dead and deliver to detention those they find alive. Cantú tries not to think where the stories go from there. Plagued by nightmares, he abandons the Patrol for civilian life. But when an immigrant friend travels to Mexico to visit his dying mother and does not return, Cantú discovers that the border has migrated with him, and now he must know the whole story. Searing and unforgettable, The Line Becomes a River makes urgent and personal the violence our border wreaks on both sides of the line"...
    Content: "A former Border Patrol agent's haunting experience of an unnatural divide and the lives caught on either side, struggling to cross or to defend it"...

    Content: Fifty years ago, A. Turing predicted that by 2000 we would have a machine that could pass the Turing test. Although this may not yet be true, AI has advanced signi?cantly in these 50 years, and at the dawn of the XXI century is still an activeandchallenging?eld.Thisyearisalsosigni?cantforAIinMexico,withthe merging of the two major AI conferences into the biennial Mexican International Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (MICAI) series. MICAI is the union of the Mexican National AI Conference (RNIA) and the International AI Symposium (ISAI), organized annually by the Mexican Society forAI(SMIA,since1984)andbytheMonterreyInstituteofTechnology(ITESM, since1988),respectively.The?rstMexicanInternationalConferenceonArti?cial Intelligence, MICAI 2000, took place April 11-14, 2000, in the city of Acapulco, Mexico.ThisconferenceseekstopromoteresearchinAI,andcooperationamong Mexican researchers and their peers worldwide. We welcome you all. Over 163 papers from 17 di?erent countries were submitted for consideration to MICAI 2000. After reviewing them thoroughly, MICAI’s program committee, referees, and program chair accepted 60 papers for the international track. This volume contains the written version of the papers and invited talks presented at MICAI. We would like to acknowledge the support of the American Association for Arti?cial Intelligence (AAAI), and the International Joint Conference on Art- cial Intelligence (IJCAI). We are specially grateful for the warm hospitality and generosity o?ered by the Acapulco Institute of Technology.

    Content: F. Cantú war von 2008 bis 2012 Angehöriger der United States Border Patrol. Er schildert autobiografisch und hautnah, was das Grenzregime zwischen den USA und Mexiko mit den illegalen Einwanderern macht, aber auch, wie es die Gefühlswelt und das Denken der Grenzschützer selbst verändert. Das Grundthema des Buches ist denn auch Verrohung und Gewalt und wie diese Kräfte ganze Gesellschaften, Gruppen oder Individuen umklammern und zunehmend bestimmen können. Die sehr persönlichen Schilderungen werden dabei immer wieder unterbrochen durch journalistische Berichterstattung, die die Geschichte der Grenze aber auch Hintergründe zu Drogenkartellen und organisiertem Verbrechen in Mexiko aufarbeiten. Cantú gelingt es, klar zu machen, dass hinter jeder Nachricht und jedem "Vorgang" persönliche Existenzen stehen. Er holt die Flüchtenden, die ansonsten in einer gesichtslosen Masse doppelt unterzugehen drohen, aus ihrer Anonymität. - Das Buch ist ausgezeichnet lesbar und macht eindringlich darauf aufmerksam, was Grenzen für Menschen bedeuten. Zugleich bewegend und informativ; breit empfohlen und einsetzbar.
    Content: Nach seinem Politikstudium arbeitet Cantú als Mitglied der United States Border Patrol an der mexikanischen Grenze. Was er hier erlebt, verarbeitet er in diesem Buch. Er rettet Verdurstende aus der Wüste, muss mit ansehen, wie Familien zerrissen werden, erlebt die Grausamkeiten der Drogenkartelle.
