"Ukwakha Amabhuloho, Hhayi Izindonga," kusho intatheli yomngcele, incwadi yakamuva no-tersest ka-Todd Miller. Futhi akuyeki. Emakhasini okuvula uMiller uchaza ukuhlangana noJuan Carlos emgwaqeni ogwadule amamayela angamashumi amabili enyakatho yomngcele wase-US-Mexico. UJuan umbhebhetha phansi. Ekhathele futhi omile uJuan ucela uMiller amanzi nokugibela aye edolobheni eliseduzane. “Bekungaba yinhlonipho enkulu ukunganakwa 'komthetho' ukusiza uJuan Carlos ngokumgibelisa. Kepha ukube angikwenzanga, ngokusho kombhalo, ukwenza ngokomoya, nonembeza, bekungaba ukwephula umthetho ophakeme. ”

Lo mzuzu wokuhlanza uba yimantra yamakhasi asele ayi-159 encwadi. Phakathi kwamaqiniso aqatha abandayo, imininingwane evela ezifundisweni eziningi, nezindaba zomuntu siqu, uJuan Carlos uphinde avele. Imvamisa.

UMiller ufingqa incwadi yakhe ngemisho emibili. Futhi lapha uzothola into enhle, okuthile komuntu, ngezicucu eziphukile. ”

Ngayinye iMiller ikhuluma ngezimpikiswano ezithandwayo ezisekela i-US bipartisan. inqubomgomo yokuphepha emngceleni. Okuvamile ngukuthi “bonke bangumnyuzi wezidakamizwa.” Ukwenqaba kukaMiller ngumbiko kahulumeni wesifundazwe ophetha cishe amaphesenti angama-90 ezidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni ezingena e-US. ngeza ngamachweba okungena. Hhayi ugwadule noma ngaphesheya koMfula iRio Grande. INarco-capitalism, yize kunempi ebizwa ngezidakamizwa, iyindlela ehamba phambili yokwenza ibhizinisi. "Amabhange amakhulu asevele ebanjiwe akhokhiswa imali elolo hlobo - kodwa angakaze abhekiswe njengabashushumbisi bezidakamizwa-kubalwa i-Wells Fargo, i-HSBC, ne-Citibank, ukubala nje ezimbalwa."

"Bathatha imisebenzi yethu." Okunye ukukhokhiswa okujwayelekile. UMiller ukhumbuza umfundi ngombiko we-2018 ovela e-US. I-Bureau of Labor Statistics ephawula ukuthi selokhu kwaqaliswa i-NAFTA ngo-1994, e-US. imisebenzi yokukhiqiza yehle ngo-4.5 million, kwathi ukulahleka okuyizigidi eziyi-1.1 kwabalelwa esivumelwaneni sokuhweba. Yizizwe zamazwe ezeqile ezeqe imingcele zathatha imisebenzi eningizimu nazo ngenkathi abokufika bexoshwa.

Futhi ubugebengu? “Ucwaningo ngemuva kocwaningo luveze ukuhlangana kwabokufika / ubugebengu njengenganekwane, okungenzeka ukuthi ingukubandlulula, okuchitha izivivinyo ezingena kakhulu zobugebengu nokuthi kungani zikhona. Ngamanye amagama, iningi labantu abamelene nabokufika, abameli bezindonga ezihamba phambili liqhutshwa yifa lokuphakama kwabamhlophe. ”

UMiller ubuye abhekise kubunjalo bipartisan benqubomgomo yokuphepha emingceleni. Uyaphawula ukuthi udonga lomngcele wase-US-Mexico lwalungamakhilomitha angu-650 ngaphambi kokuphathwa kukaTrump. UHillary Clinton, uBarack Obama, kanye noJoe Biden bonke bavotele iSecure Fence Act yango-2006. Isakhiwo esisezimbonini nezimboni sidlala izinhlangothi zombili zezinto njengefiddle. Abanye babadlali ababalulekile abayizazi izishoshovu zempi ezilwa nazo: INorthrop Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, uRaytheon no-Elbit Systems, ukubala abambalwa.

"Sekuphele iminyaka engamashumi amane, isabelomali sokuphoqelela imingcele kanye nabokufika kuleli sikhuphukile, unyaka nonyaka, ngaphandle kokubonisana nomphakathi noma impikiswano… ngo-1980, isabelomali saminyaka yonke semingcele kanye nabokufika sasingu- $ 349 million." Ngo-2020 lesi sabelomali sidlule ama- $ 25 billion. Ukwanda ngamaphesenti ayi-6,000. "Uhlelo lokufuduka kwabantu basemngceleni luthinta izinhlangothi zombili, futhi ukuqedwa kufanele kusuke ekucabangeni kweqembu."

Lapho inkampani ethi “Building Bridges, Not Wall” enezincwadi eziningi zemingcele itholakala esihlokweni esigcwele. ” Uhambo Lokuya Emhlabeni Ongenazo Izindonga. ” UMiller uphinda umbuzo wesazi sefilosofi nomlobi waseNigeria uBayo Akomolafe: “Hlobo luni lomhlaba oluhlaza futhi oluhle olungalele kwezingcingo nezindonga ezingagcini nje ngemizimba yethu, kodwa nangomcabango wethu, inkulumo yethu, nobuntu bethu uqobo?” UMiller usimema ukuba sizikhulule “e-US. inkulumo nemingcele yayo ye-claustrophobic yalokho okubhekwa njengokuphikisana nokuthi yini engekho ”

Umfundi uyamenywa ukuthi acabange ngaphandle komqondo wasodongeni, ngale "kokugula odongeni" kwethu. Amabhuloho asevele akhona. "Amabhuloho futhi angaba nezakhiwo ezingokomzwelo, ezingokwengqondo nezingokomoya ... noma yini exhumanayo." Sidinga ukubabona kuphela. Usikhumbuza ukuqonda kuka-Angela Davis: “Izindonga ezijikiswe ngasemabhulohweni.”

UMiller unikeza amaqiniso, bese elandela ngemibuzo: “Kuthiwani uma besingazivumela sicabange ngomhlaba ongenamngcele? Kuthiwani uma besingabona imingcele njengamaketanga, hhayi njengezihlangu, kodwa njengamaketanga agcina iplanethi isesimweni esingaqiniseki sokuhlukana ngokobuhlanga, kanye nenhlekelele yesimo sezulu? Siziguqula kanjani izimo lapho imingcele nezindonga ziba yizixazululo ezamukelekayo zezinkinga? Lokhu kungaba kanjani yiprojekthi yezepolitiki esebenzayo? Umusa ungaziwisa kanjani izindonga? ” Le yincwadi yothando enzima kakhulu. Akunathemba elishibhile, kunselelo enqenqemeni. Ibhola lisenkantolo yabantu. Okwethu.

“Ukwakha Amabhuloho, Hhayi Izindonga kusukelana nokuhlangana komgwaqo kukaTodd Miller no-Juan Carlos. “Manje sengibona ukungabaza kwami ​​ehlane phambi kukaJuan Carlos njengophawu lokuthi yimina ebengidinga usizo. Yimina ebengidinga ukuqonda umhlaba ngendlela entsha. ” Waqala kanjalo-ke uhambo lwakhe lokuya ezweni elingenamingcele. Manje usimema ukuba sihlanganyele naye.
