Betram

Betram charges into Josh's office on the heels of Sam and Josh, unleashing the grim arithmetic of human smuggling—$20,000 to $40,000 passages that shackle arrivals to sweatshops, drugs, and prostitution. He spotlights coached religious persecution claims as smugglers' alibis, demanding unflinching obedience to immigration laws despite Christian League bonds and refugees' raw desperation. As INS enforcer, Betram injects federal steel into White House deliberations, his cautionary briefs shattering idealism and compelling rigorous verification amid moral fault lines and diplomatic strains.
