"The Booming Business of Border Exclusion", 23 August 2015

Terrorized by Technology: The booming sale in militarized border technologies directly affects the life of Maida, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who can no longer visit her husband, Juan Jose. Sometimes loved ones, forcibly separated, meet at the border wall... But Maida told Truthout she no longer feels comfortable doing this. She is afraid of the cameras, the sensors, the drones and the Border Patrol checkpoints... 

The Privatization of Border Policing: The most massive system of exclusion ever constructed in the United States is playing out in intimate spaces...and somebody doesn't want you to know about it. At a border policing conference in 2012, signs...[warned] "No Protesting Allowed." In 2013, after requesting press credentials, Truthout's Mark Karlin received a one-word email answer: "No."

...[The] most massive technological surveillance system of entrapment and exclusion that we have ever had in the United States....terrorizes and kills people. And death is part of this preordained policy of "deterrence"...[Since] the 1990s...more than 6,000 remains of people have been recovered in the borderlands.
