Episode notes
Immigration Enforcement As Political Theater
- ICE raids are theatrical spectacles rather than targeted employer enforcement that would stop illegal hiring at farms and meatpacking plants.
- Jimmy Dore argues the spectacle divides the public and protects corporate interests who want cheap labor.
Spectacle Distracts From Elite Crimes
- The spectacle distracts citizens from elite misconduct like the Epstein cover-ups and broader bipartisan policies favoring corporations.
- Kurt Metzger and Jimmy link the raids to censorship, wars, and expanding the security state.
Enforcement Theater Paired With Visa Expansion
- The administration is simultaneously expanding visa programs (H-1B, students) while staging enforcement theatrics.
- Kurt and Jimmy say this one-two approach depresses wages and serves corporate labor needs.
