"The thing that can be unsettling is that there are so many ways that you are probably being watched. You’re aware that you’re being watched, but you can’t see it with your eyes. But you have no idea what they’re actually able to see and what they know about you. And so the forms in which you don’t know how you’re being watched, or you don’t know what information they have on you, is part of the unsettling experience of living on the border."
