DESCRIPTION:As the US presidential election approaches, migration at the southern 
 border becomes more and more of a lightning rod for demagoguery and a gold 
 mine for the border industrial complex. False narratives and political 
 theater gain headlines while the struggle of people seeking safety and a 
 better life gets worse and yet largely goes unreported. This webinar will 
 focus on the nuts and bolts of the border industrial complex, including 
 contracts, budgets, and trends, and on the chaos being generated for power 
 and profit in this time of electioneering mendacity. The presenter is a 
 longtime journalists based in Tucson, Arizona who publish the Border 
 Chronicle, a biweekly newsletter of original, on-the-ground reporting, 
 analysis, and commentary.\n\nPresenter:\n\nTodd Miller has researched and 
 written about border issues for more than two decades, the last 10 as an 
 independent journalist and writer. He is a longtime resident of Tucson, 
 Arizona, but also spent many years living and working in Oaxaca, Mexico, 
 and grew up in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls region, staring across the U.S. 
 border into Canada. His work has appeared in The New York Times, 
 TomDispatch, The Nation, The San Francisco Chronicle, In These Times, 
 Guernica, and Al Jazeera English, among others. Todd has authored four 
 books: Build Bridges, Not Walls: A Journey to a World without Borders (City 
 Lights, 2021); Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border around 
 the World (Verso, 2019); Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Front
