News:

Louis CK recently added a new point of view on the question of immigration: speaking with Joe Rogan, Louis CK said that maybe the reason we try to keep the border closed is that we like being comfortable too much. Being too comfortable is bad for the individual organism, and it is also bad for society, because in either case the capacity to actively manage problems diminishes, complacency sets in, eyes become blind to problems, etc. In this episode, our main story is the recent allegations against America's Immigration and Customs Enforcement of barbaric force-feeding of Kumar, an Indian national detained after entering the U.S. to seek asylum. How much of our need for utmost comfort contributed to the circumstances and details of this brutal story? We also cover Russia's new reverse-migration, the United Nation's year in review, which shows 100 million people globally are currently displaced, an update on Greece's ongoing persecution of immigrant advocates, and a brief look at the life of   Kalpana Chawla.

THE CRISIS OF MISSING MIGRANTS

The drone killing of Al-Awlaki marked in the most violent way possible the limits of US Citizenship. It ignited a debate about what citizenship is, and whether the killing of Al-Awlaki had somehow lessened the rights of Americans to not be killed by their own government. Eric Snowden recently announced he was becoming a U.S. Citizen. Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, tried to delay his deportation from South Africa by using a “World Passport”. These cases beg the question of where the limits of citizenship, which are in essence the rights that attach to a person because they are a part of a certain recognized country, begin and end. They often end, we discuss, where they meet the outer limits of the law, I.e. where questions that law has not yet considered start and only raw power rules.

An unknown daredevil takes flight over the fence in Melilla, the world's most dangerous border | the UK uses its superior knowledge of enacting racially-administered bureaucracy to put forth a (very real!) scheme to send English Channel crossers (not the white ones, except for Albanians probably) to Rwanda, which is next to the Congo, which is totally a real country and not a hodgepodge of armed rebel groups and volcano-scarred villages | Francis Ngannou was in Malilla and tried to cross, but even though he is a world champion martial artist, he couldn't do it.

Europe is in a new immigration crisis, but this time there is no timetable as to when it will be over. Since 2016, Europe has reversed course on its long-term project of knocking down policed borders, so that in 2022 it now once again has some of the most militarized borders in the world. This is creating new opportunities for arbitrage of opportunity, and setting the stage, we fear, for a very violent future. What can be done? 

In the first episode of 10 Billion People, Damjan and Eli talk about Martha's Vinyard, asylum at the border, the need to expand work programs for temporary immigrants, and the story of NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
