Immigrant Song

In this episode we examine the question, "What is the immigration industrial complex?" We’ll learn how maintaining a flow of undocumented immigrants in and out of the United States means big money for many companies. We’ll also hear from Tanya Golash-Boza, author of the book, Deported: Policing Immigrants, Disposable Labor and Global Capitalism.
