In this weird and exploitive system of capitalism, some
times great effort is put into something and just when those
responsible think they have success, up pops another problem caused
by their success. The state of Arizona has been working away
diligently trying to close its border with Mexico. According to The
Centre for American Progress, there has been $115 billion spent on
beefing up the border controls in the last 8 years, and the Arizona
Border Patrol has double in the last seven years. So now that they
are beginning to pat themselves on the back with congratulations as
they think they have cut the number of people getting across the
border, along come some moaning minnies. It seems that the Arizona
farmers are complaining as they are now in trouble because they can't
get enough migrant workers to work the farms. So it looks like that the US tax payers have paid $115 billion to cripple the Arizona farmers, ah, that's capitalism for you. This could be a case
for some joined-up thinking and one group speaking to the other. Of
course in a free and decent society there would be no borders.
