GOP 'Outrage' Over Border Shooting Ignores Decades of Failed Policy
Republicans, ever keen to seize a crisis, are reportedly 'outraged' over a National Guard shooting along the border, demanding intensified immigration crackdowns. This manufactured fury distracts from their own complicity, maintaining a perpetual 'border crisis' that funds lucrative security contracts while demonizing desperate people. It's an old playbook: stoke fear, demand more taxpayer money
for enforcement, and ensure a steady pipeline of vulnerable labor. One might wonder where this 'outrage' is when the US supports regimes that destabilize regions, creating the very migration waves they then decry. Senator John Cornyn, for instance, has taken millions from defense contractors over his career (OpenSecrets.org), companies that directly benefit from increased border militarization.
Funny how the 'solutions' always seem to line the pockets of those who fund the 'problems'. How many more 'last warnings' will we get before we question the system itself?
