The term “national interest” is itself a euphemism, for what is usually meant is the interest of a small sector of wealthy domestic elites. Noam Chomsky and Nathan J. Robinson:

Prediction: Obviously we'll see a rise in private for-profit prisons for ICE detainment. After they see their use for facilitating deportations, we will see a rise in incarceration for the most minor crimes. This incarcerated population will serve as the labor pool to replace deported immigrants.

Sun Ra came to me in a vision and said to put on large "creative liberation events" called Jubilations in order to free our imprisoned cosmic companion souls. I don't know if it was really Sun Ra, but it seems like a solid idea. So I might be emailing you today about it.
