Their immoral-mass-murder really ramped up when they couldn't achieve their desired rate/expense of the immoral-mass-incarceration and immoral-mass-exiling they were already doing.

Even if your statement was correct--it isn't, ask the victims in CECOT--it isn't reassuring or exculpatory: "Don't worry guys, we may have spent 11 months speed-running years of the Nazi trajectory, but don't worry, we're stopping at only this much of the cruelty. I promise, for realsies this time. Double pinky-swear."

A strong indicator of an article that get flagged, and which also trigger the flame war detection on the site, is a bunch of comments that are either grayed out or flagged. The one will feed the other into a death spiral for the article.

The logistics are just impossible unless you build massive camps.

If a private firm can make money from catching bad guys, then why wouldn't the same private firm pay rewards to people who make their job easier?

Many of the detention facilities where we keep illegal immigrants are privately run. Many of our politicians own shares in those private companies.

Shareholders don't like it when their investments don't appreciate.

Maybe there's still enough ethics left in the general SWE population to make a difference.

And creating regulations for the word "engineer" is just a bad idea. Instead the common solution is independent certification bodies (perhaps with some government clout for practices that endanger people).

And regardless, you can only regulate individuals within your jurisdiction. Global commerce and services makes the idea of controlling the word engineer fruitless.

If I'm reading that correctly the US wanted the labour, and the Mexican Government wanted the US to enforce stricter control:

  Pressure from Mexican agribusiness owners to return laborers from the United States to Mexico prompted increased action by the Mexican government.

  The labor problems caused crops to rot in Mexican fields because so many laborers had crossed into the U.S. Meanwhile, American agriculture, which was also transitioning to large-scale farms and agribusinesses, continued to recruit illegal Mexican laborers to fulfill its expanding labor requirements.
