South Dakota's Governor Considers Privatizing Immigration Enforcement
The Independent reports Noem is mulling an 'incentive based pricing structure' for contractors to pursue immigrants—a move straight out of a dystopian novel, not responsible governance. This isn't just about immigration; it's the continuing privatization of state functions, turning human lives into profit centers. Remember when Blackwater got caught up in Iraq? This is how it starts, only with
less sand and more 'profit motive' for chasing families. So, the state can't manage its own border security efficiently (allegedly), but can absolutely manage incentivizing private citizens to do it, presumably without accountability? One might wonder if the next great American enterprise will be 'private, incentivized prison management' for those apprehended. Oh wait, that's already a thing. The
line between public duty and private profit gets blurrier every day, especially when 'issues' can be monetized.
