As the US presidential election approaches, migration at the southern border becomes more and more of a lightning rod for demagoguery and a gold mine for the border industrial complex. False narratives and political theater gain headlines while the struggle of people seeking safety and a better life gets worse and yet largely goes unreported.
This webinar will focus on the nuts and bolts of the border industrial complex, including contracts, budgets, and trends, and on the chaos being generated for power and profit in this time of electioneering mendacity. The presenters are longtime journalists based in Tucson, Arizona who publish the Border Chronicle, a biweekly newsletter of original, on-the-ground reporting, analysis, and commentary.
Our speaker will be Todd Miller, co-producer of The Border Chronicle.
Todd Miller has written about border and immigration issues between the United States and Mexico. He is a contributing editor on the NACLA Report on the Americas’ blog “Border Wars”, and his work has also appeared in such places as the New York Times, The Nation, Guernica, and Common Dreams. Miller lives in Tucson, Arizona. Miller has worked for both Borderlinks in Arizona and Witness for Peace in Oaxaca, Mexico, researching and assisting in resolving immigration issues.
