This is exactly why I have kept at pointing out the intersection of "immigration hawks" and those touting "passive eugenics" for so long, ever since the #TantonNetwork was brought into the federal government en masse by the Trump administration. This is what they are.
Don't get me wrong. They were already there. But they've metastasized now. Our border agencies are in very bad shape and should be matters of grave concern for anybody who cares about American security. They're a major threat to our national resilience.
They FAKED a shortage. As they were telling us that "meatpackers and regular Americans" had to make sacrifices. This is hideous. And it was guaranteed far more than a couple hundred people who died. Charge these meatpacking companies with crimes against humanity.
Not to belabor the point but it's very easy to imagine this being a search for signs of pregnancy while crossing state lines using a drug search as a pretext. We're very close
Or checking against records to see if anyone has an "unauthorized abortion" in their past
Remember how I warned that we all ignored rising border violence and surveillance at our peril? What do you think this dragnet will be used for now? theguardian.com/world/2022/may…
