Day 106: Disinformation and the Migrant Surge, on Substack

I hear pundits on FOX say things like "the cartels control our border." There's some truth to that - human smuggling is big business, and smugglers engage in propaganda to entice people to pay for their "travel services."

This is both a law enforcement AND a humanitarian crisis, yet the rhetoric is often divisive. This is also not a new issue. Maybe stepping away from the current lens and taking a look at 150-year-old version of the problem, with a different cast of characters, could change the way we think and talk about and just maybe try to solve this problem?
