Immigration 'Crackdown' Kills Again. Still No Wall.
While The Independent attributes the recent Minneapolis shooting death to 'Trump’s immigration crackdown,' this narrative ignores decades of escalating bipartisan violence at the border. Remember the Clinton-era 'Operation Gatekeeper' in 1994, which funneled migrants into deadly deserts, a policy Biden's current administration continues to expand? The 'wall' is a political prop; the real money has
always been in detention centers, surveillance tech, and armed enforcement. Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group—major donors to both parties—have seen their profits soar over Republican and Democratic administrations alike, turning human desperation into a lucrative industry. So, a 'crackdown'? Or just business as usual, repackaged for electoral cycles, ensuring the cycle of violence and profit
continues regardless of who's in office? One might wonder how many more 'crackdowns' it takes before we acknowledge it's simply a system designed to manufacture crisis for profit.
