I agree with most of the left's position on immigration and definitely on allowing in refugees...the only issue is I wish it weren't taboo to discuss the impact on wages and the lowering of labor costs, which is the reason immigration is encouraged by employers. Stagnant wages are a problem and widespread excess labor doesn't help.

This is a piece created by Duncan Chapman from recordings of forced rhubarb growing at David Westwood & Son rhubarb farm, near Wakefield. You can hear the rhubarb buds popping as they burst and also some mud as we squelched around in the dark. The audio has been cleaned up as much as possible to remove the sound of both the M62 and M1 motorways which are nearby!

Journalist Eileen Truax explores the political battleground of immigration in the Trump era - from the harsh realities of US immigration, asylum and detention procedures, to the made-in-the-USA interventions of capital and military violence that drive people from their homes in the first place.

Eileen is author of "We Built the Wall: How the US Keeps Out Asylum Seekers from Mexico, Central America and Beyond" from Verso.

We've been building a wall against immigrants for decades.

UNLOCKED episode 225 - The Poster's Crusade (7/6/18)

Released on Linear Obsessional's free download label, my album The Terminal Beach was first conceived in the early 80's.  It is a personal story as much as an attempt to capture JG Ballard's short story.  

A man maroons himself upon a former nuclear test atoll in the Pacific.  The small landscape is festooned with concrete structures.  Lakes, bunkers and two thousand blocks.  Wrecked bombers and more structures than even Ballard gets time to write about.  A story written in the shadow of the cold war, it perfectly captured who and what I was in my early 20's.  Come with me here, and see the sights?
