- Title
The Bipartisan Border Machine: Biden Never Really Stopped Building the Wall.
- Authors
Miller, Todd
- Abstract
The article discusses the bipartisan nature of border enforcement in the United States, highlighting how both Republican and Democratic administrations have contributed to the expansion of border budgets, fortification, and detention centers. It emphasizes that the border is a complex machine that goes beyond partisan politics and is driven by its own interests. The article also examines the construction of the border wall under the Trump administration and the continuation of wall construction under the Biden administration. It discusses the use of technology, such as surveillance towers, as part of the "smart wall" approach. The article concludes by calling for a shift in perspective and considering the voices and experiences of those living in the borderlands to find solutions to border issues.
