This is where art comes in (you know, the useless degrees people are always harping on about). It was a television series here in the UK that recently got people to take up and notice the injustice that was done by jailing post office owners for fraud when software was the culprit. People lack imagination. A well done movie or TV series could make this real for people.

And oh by the way, this is happening on a smaller scale and in a combination of ways in the UK right now and the country is a disaster. We lost 3m Europeans with Brexit by just being assholes and the economy is a disaster. We are detaining refugees arriving in small boats and holding them hostage, not processing asylum claims, not allowing them to work while we threaten them with deportation to Rwanda. Some are committing suicide. We are becoming an international pariah.

Which highlights another point missed in this article. When you start shipping these people to other countries, those countries will protest. And band together to bring sanction against the US and possibly even declare war. With the entire military machine dedicated to the disgusting endeavour, the ability of the US to defend itself will evaporate.
