Walters' mid-career love life is detailed largely in two chapters in the middle of the book, "Fun and Games in Washington" and "Special Men in My Life."

Instead, he was left with an immigration policy built solely around enforcement and symbolized by an exclusionary fence, an approach many Latinos saw as punitive and even racist."
