This is one of the most unbelievable things in the news today.
So Bush is cracking down on immigration, and one of his latest "pushes" is for incarceration rather than deportation. The part this article doesn't cover is that, yes, we are charging these people with federal crimes now and sentencing them, but it doesn't mention where they go after that. Rather than sending illegal immigrants back home to their families to start over, we are locking them up here in the United States? Well why not? The industry of corporate prison building is booming bigger than ever, so with all that cell space, and all of those taxpayer dollars to be earned by corporations who are contracted by our government to build those prisons, why not start adding huge numbers of illegal immigrants into that mix? Finding more underhanded ways to fuck over illegal immigrants and make a buck at it? Priceless.
