Who profits from the means deployed to close borders? What happens when bodies are found on beaches? Did you know that Europe’s borders have been relocated to the Sahara? Who are the undocumented immigrants making our economies run? Traffickers, defense industrialists, and European employers profit from this system without thinking twice about the thousands of deaths and disappearances that occur each year.
