Inside USA - Big business of border security - 15 March 2008

Immigration and border security has become a frontline in US politics and a key battleground in the race for the White House.

So, big stakes on the political front, but also big money, and big questions, with the same private contractors from Iraq now involved in building a high-tech fortress America.




This week Inside USA travels to the US-Mexico border to look at how big business is positioning itself to tap into the lucrative border security market

thank you for this report.. very informative..

Hats off to al Jazeera for bringing this presentation. I cannot imagine any mainstream US media showing this heinous exploitation of migrants for commercial gain. Business opportunity in "transporting" and " correcting" illegal migrants sounds like collecting and storing vegetables before distribution.

I am so happy I am not an american. This is just one more thing that shows that the US is imploding upon itself.

fucking dumbass in office i.e. crickethead, doesnt give a shit about illegals because they fuel the vote for him and his party.

because canada is a first world country with a roughly equal GDP per capita as the USA, so it's just as rich, so to speak. in fact, most people would argue that quality of life is BETTER in canada (better health care, lower crime rates), so you can see why canadians aren't exactly rushing to get over the border and therefore americans aren't too bothered about it. as for mexico and the southern border, on the other hand... as beautiful a country as it is, it's mostly impoverished.

why don't u tell me

[littleMissTickles20]

"how come they don't secure the Canadian borders?"

erm... are you actually comparing mexico to canada? you might want to think about that one, why americans focus more on the southern border than the northern one.

[OutlawzAK]

how come they don't secure the Canadian boarders?.......HOLD I GUESS BECAUSE THEY'RE WHITE..... ANYTHING THAT WHITE IS ALRIGHT I GUESS.

THEY'RE RACISTS PEOPLE LIVING AMONG US IN THIS WORLD.

[cwood4ever]
