This paper advances a systems-science analysis of U.S. immigration enforcement, arguing that the persistent spectacle of “tough on borders” rhetoric masks a deliberate control strategy rather than policy failure. Drawing on thirty years of deportation data, economic modeling, and control systems theory, the author demonstrates that annual deportations have been structurally capped at approximately 1–3% of the undocumented population regardless of political party in power. This engineered stasis preserves a large, vulnerable labor force essential to agriculture, construction, hospitality, and energy sectors, while creating the illusion—particularly among working-class Whites—that the state is aggressively addressing illegal immigration. The paper situates this phenomenon within a broader systems framework, modeling the billionaire “SWARM” as an intelligent control system that detects threats to elite power (such as worker solidarity) and deploys selective enforcement, racial fear-mongering, and media amplification as stabilizing inputs.
Beyond economics, the paper traces a 400-year historical pattern in which racial and ethnic vilification is repeatedly used to fracture worker unity and justify the expansion of police and surveillance infrastructure. From slave patrols and Jim Crow to modern ICE raids and biometric databases, each wave of “othering” strengthens state coercive power while eroding constitutional protections for all citizens. The author argues that deportation theater functions as a modern iteration of this strategy, manipulating racial anxiety to prevent multiracial class solidarity and entrenching elite dominance across both “red” and “blue” states. The paper concludes that meaningful reform cannot emerge from partisan politics, but requires systems-level education and bottom-up movements—specifically the Truth Freedom Health® framework—to dismantle divide-and-rule mechanisms and restore worker unity, economic justice, and constitutional freedom.
