And its past four pm right now on the east coast and here in washington d. C. And it looks increasingly like the government will officially shutdown when Spending Authority granted by congress expires after midnight the latest development was a meeting this afternoon between Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer and President Trump senator schumer reported no breakthrough meanwhile a short term spending bill that passed the house thursday night is pending before the senate but the prospects for passage are slim to none absent a larger deal in reality if the government shuts down for the weekend it isnt as huge a deal as it will be if it remains closed going into the work week on monday as we raced towards a Government Shutdown over immigration issues with calls for more in forstmann versus demands to protect immigrant families boom bust takes a closer look at the economics of this debate with author todd miller todd welcome thank you for joining us youve written two books about immigration and borders most recently storming the wall in your first book and Border Patrol nation your report of how essentially the entire United States has become the border can you briefly explain that for our viewers and what that means for the market for border enforcement solutions. Sure thing its great to be here on yeah if you look over the last twenty five years there has been a historic expansion of the border and Immigration Enforcement apparatus in the United States and you can look at a couple of statistics for example the u. S. Border patrol in the early one nine hundred ninety s. About four thousand agents and now its about twenty one thousand or the increases of technologies and and cameras and drones and all kinds of stuff is as far as border infrastructure is concerned that has been expanding and expanding into hundred mile border jurisdiction zones so well. On the border but also well into the interior so you take that and you take the increase of interior enforcement with immigration and Customs Enforcement and the two hundred fifty Detention Centers that ice has occurred and the almost four hundred thousand people per year theyre capable of deporting and you have this again a historic this expansion in which the budgets for immigration and border enforcement went from one point five billion dollars in the early one nine hundred ninety s. As an annual budget to twenty billion dollars in two thousand and seventeen and that sets the foundation for a thriving Border Security market now it wouldnt trouble administration so yeah its expensive but you know finally a word people arent coming into the u. S. Is that a result of the twenty billion versus the one point five is that a result of rhetoric on part of the president what are you saying i think what can you attribute to those numbers. Well the numbers for example the president often talks as if there is not a border wall that exists and there actually is one it comes from those numbers theres something about approximately seven hundred miles of walls and barriers with this Clear Strategy called prevention through deterrence which makes it more and more difficult for people to cross it is clearly more difficult for people to cross now than it was twenty five years ago and one of the people you know based on often based on economic reasons do continue to cross. Its. What happened is that it has become much more dangerous to cross and this flies in the face of what the trump administrations. Says that while theres nothing on the border this idea that theres absolutely nothing and people are just crossing well were looking at you know more fortification on the u. S. Border than ever before and u. S. History but you know some point you know he says theres on one side he says well you know theres not enough there we need my border wall on the other hand you know we sort of seems to take credit for the idea that you know were building a big beautiful wall and were doing all these things when in fact is you know you know some of some of the the infrastructure there even if its not you know mortar was under president obama and bush and even and even clinton who got during that time who got those contracts by the way was this halliburton or who was getting the contracts to do these things to build what is there on the existing border. Well with the existing border so when you look at the border wall that exists right it comes out of the secure for fence act of two thousand and six that is when youre looking at dramatic increases in the border budget coming in the post nine eleven era thats so in the preexisting border there are lots of different you know subcontract things that was done by customs and Border Protection one of which as you just mentioned was a subsidiary of halliburton k. B. R. Kellogg brown and brown and root who got a contract for to maintain the border infrastructure of the fed and the wall infrastructure but also along with the wall building in two thousand and six to two thousand and nine approximately there was another program it was called the secure border initiative. Net which was the Principal Program was that create a virtual wall of intense high tech Surveillance Technology the First Company that got the contract and there was a big one was boeing boeing got a contract for about that was that became worth almost two billion dollars that was cancelled by d. H. Ass in two thousand and eleven so that in the idea of a virtual wall is that the wall is on the border but the border itself again expands into the interior so theres a layers of border enforcement the virtual wall is another layer of high tech. Surveillance technology and now the Company Systems which is an Israeli Company are its subsidiary element systems of america has the contract which could be worth up to a billion dollars and theyre currently constructing fifty two such surveillance towers called integrated fix towers in the Us Mexico Border lands principally in arizona so those are example of of of a few of many Many Companies that are that are cashing in on whats on the. The border but that bonanza the border but as i like that phrase and its very interesting what you said tied about the. Borders not just right there along the border it goes back im not sure a lot of people know that it amazes me still that were having this debate surrounding the Government Shutdown because as we all recall the president then candidate trump and to his crowds would say and whos going to pay for it everybody would shout mexico but here we are talking about the government may shut down if we u. S. Taxpayers dont pay for the wall. Sort of a head shake there on that anyway todd miller author of storming the wall thanks for your time and we hope youll come back thank you. But settle against the academic of Sexual Harassment goes on there have been no shortage of high profile cases involving celebrities but what about more common day to day impact on workers and here to talk with us about that very important subject underreported angle of the story is Diana Ramirez deputy codirector of the Restaurant Opportunities Center united diana thank you for being here you are having me ok so what is it what sector of the Hospitality Industry is the most thats impacted by Sexual Harassment at the Restaurant Opportunities Center weve done a lot of research on this and we found that it is in fact the Restaurant Industry because of the sub minimum wage for tech workers so employers can opt to pay their or tipped employees as little as two thirteen an hour the federal level and have the tips make up the difference to bring them to their regular minimum wage and so because of that two tiered wage system to poor course have to put up with the whims of customers because the customers are paying their wages not the employer and its crazy circumstance where people get paid to thirteen and then they dont get tipped as what usually happens so thats. Been through those unfortunate and silly debates quite frankly so when you talk about Sexual Harassment what type of Economic Impact does this create for the Hospitality Industry well you know. If for the survivors themselves you know that. A Sexual Assault can cost up to two hundred thousand dollars to almost a half a Million Dollars in you know just just dealing with the case getting medical help you know the criminal Justice System being you know brought into it but we also see an Economic Impact in the loss of wages that. Iris have so you know young women when theyre in their twentys when they get sexually harassed they more likely than not they often quit their jobs and so its a loss of income there they go get help when theyre you know its a productivity to a right lots of credit is not just not getting the wages not producing whatever it was there are you see exactly theyre getting you know Mental Health than Mental Health care and physical health care and so when theyre ready to come back to the workforce they often enter or enter at a lower level than had they you know with what level they would have been had they stayed in the workforce and so when you when you come pound that loss of money over someones lifetime its quite a lot and you know if i ask you that question im like wait a minute these are really human things and im asking about the economic angle of it and just what we focus on here a boom boom bust that but that doesnt neglect you know the real pain in a lot of suffering that these folks have as interest interesting study about restaurant workers filed more Sexual Harassment claims than any other industry and this number diana just got me over one hundred seventy thousand claims with eighty three percent of those coming from women is that real i mean could hundred seventy thousand that israel and all those reasserts on the on average the Sexual Harassment claims to the to the e. E. O. C. Are five times higher from the Restaurant Industry than any other industry and it goes back quite a bit im sorry are high times higher as it is it. Is it both employers and customers is it more customers than employers that been broken out you know it comes from all angles because we understand you know most of us see it coming from the customers hey baby the name calling the with selling the touching but it also is is is comes from the managers and the owners because they tell you well in order to make good tips why dont you show some more cleavage where you wear the shorter skirt and then you know youre getting harassed by your managers because you want the good shifts you want the big tables you want the big parties and so it really comes from all angles and at some point they actually want the big tips to so you its a its a double edged sword there because unfortunately customers made to better based upon that which is that it met an underlying problem we have in our society exactly and you know the Restaurant Industry is now almost thirteen million workers with a large second Fastest Growing industry in the country and so when you think of it as the base for a country you think of you know young girls going in at sixteen seventeen year old getting sexually harassed five times higher than their peers and then we move on to other industries. When something happens at that workplace we dont report it because its never as bad as it was in the restaurant and so the experience of the Restaurant Industry is not only in the Restaurant Industry it permeates to every other sector of our economy and its no wonder that we see you know the the weinstein scandal in hollywood because guess where all those actors and actresses work before they made a big in hollywood you know i mean its its in every industry. You know im wondering whether or not when you talk about all those those claims as hundred seventy thousand climb is there a particular geographic region of the country were those folks those claims are being made in the south because most of the Southern States still have follow the federal minimum wage which is to thirteen an hour there are seven states that have eliminated that that sub minimum wage and they pay the regular minimum wage and tips on top of that there are seven states and theyre mostly on the west coast and so we do see higher rates of discrimination and harassment in the south. Just around us but were really pleased that you are here and that youre following this stuff on a daily basis to know bold and noteworthy work and were pleased to talk about it and the Economic Impact the owner of irish thank you so much for being with us having me shade it.
