Why does America spend Billion$ policing immigrants and pennies policing corporations?
Why does a zone of elite impunity for the Jeffrey Epstein class persist while poor Americans are increasingly subject to constitutionally-suspect restrictions and state violence?
Why America Spends Billions Policing Immigrants — And Pennies Policing Corporations
"From Minneapolis to Davos, the state shows who it polices — and who it protects..."
"The immigration raids we see are dramatic, but do not seem to me to be the best way to achieve their stated goal of mass deportations.
"If the administration truly wanted to deport undocumented workers, it would crack down on the companies, like meatpackers and large farms, that hire them.
"But doing so would require policing of corporations and employers, which the GOP generally seeks to avoid. These large, made-for-TV cracking of heads strikes me as a brutal communications strategy."
Perhaps the brutality is the point of Trump's immigration policies?
