Blah, blah, blah

The future–meaning the past–of border control is being dug in Yuma, Arizona. Part of a greater Medieval revival in the US (torture, church & state, oligarchy), the city is borrowing from 14th century Europe in attempt to deter immigration through increased risk of death by drowning.

“The moats that I’ve seen circled the castle and allowed you to protect yourself, and that’s kind of what we’re looking at here,” Yuma county sheriff Ralph Ogden told the Associated Press.

The city is building a “security channel” along the border by replenishing a two-mile stretch of the Colorado river. The excavated soil would form two 15-foot high walls on both sides of the 400-foot wide area.

The site is a common crossing from Mexico to the US.  And Yuma officials want to flood it using the 15-foot levees to contain water pumped up from the ground by wells. This would create 20 acres of surface water and 15 acres of marsh land.

The city combined the moat plan with restoration of the wetlands to lure white liberal environmentalists.

Why do they want to turn the above desert into a marsh land? To curb undocumented immigration, increase risks during the crossing, and further enforce racist exploitative labor relations.
