| Hartmann: Immigrants for Sale | |
| Uploaded by TheBigPictureRT on 17 Aug 2011 Axel Woolfolk Caballero, founded/directs/produces Cuéntame. With the economy flailing - there's at least one industry - other than Wall Street and Big Oil - that's booming! And that's the business of locking up immigrants. Not because there's more illegal immigration in America today - there's actually less - but because private prison lobbyists - with the help of paid-off lawmakers who write strict immigration laws like Arizona's SB1070 - are making sure more and more illegal - and sometimes legal - immigrants are rounded up and thrown in for-profit detention facilities around the country. Each new immigrant captured translates into over $70,000 a year for the private detention facility - so it's a pretty lucrative industry. As long as profiteers are in control our prison system - and buying off our lawmakers - then a compassionate and common sense approach to illegal immigration - and our legal system in general - will forever remain elusive. | |
