Poverty and dependence.

But immigrants, they are outsiders almost by design, right?

That is what defines them.

They came from somewhere else.

And so that has proven to be a very flexible category on which to kind of project whatever social crisis you want.

Immigration detention is a deeply bipartisan project.

Like this is absolutely not a story about sort of Republicans expanding it and Democrats trying to roll it back.

This is a story about both parties coming to a consensus, right?

That migration is criminal and that it like should be punished or administered through the same infrastructure and systems that we use to punish, you know, people who we have moved through the criminal legal system.
