Immigrants Create Big Business for Many Private Prisons
Huge profits are being generated by some of the countries largest prison companies, as the country incarcerates more illegal immigrants than at any time previously.
The cost to taxpayers in the U.S. could top the $2 billion mark in 2012. The prison companies are expecting to receive their biggest cut in the next few years as new facilities are planned by the government to house the more than 400,000 undocumented immigrants detained each year.
After more than 10 years of expansion, the private, sprawling system runs different detention centers from an industrial site flanking the airport in Newark to a suburb of Denver and only three companies control the majority of it.
The growth will continue, despite the steep drop off in illegal immigrants coming into the U.S. over the last few years. During 2011, almost half of the beds in the civil detention system in the U.S. were located in private facilities with oversight by the feds very limited. Just 10 years ago, the rate was only 10%.
The companies are raking in cash from other subsidiaries that help provide transportation and health care to the detainees. In addition, they are holding even more immigrants in their private prisons that have been convicted of federal crimes. The recent financial boom has been a salvation for the companies, which at one time were near bankrupt even though officials in the federal government know that privatization of prisons, is not necessarily the cheapest way to go.
The shift toward prison privatization happened very quietly, while the unsuccessful efforts by the Congress to overhaul the immigration laws were in the headlines from coast to coast sparking huge demonstrations while negotiations by lawmakers to increase dollars for detention costs received hardly any attention.

WHICH POLITICIAN IS NEXT TO BITE THE BULLET?
Filling up detention centers for illegal aliens is no fault but today’s and yesterdays administrations? Why you might ask? The simple fact that the U.S. Immigration laws were taken for granted. Nobody really bothered to enforce the Congressional policies, with any rigid rules, even after the blanket amnesty of 1986? Illegal aliens have been pouring through open areas of the border fencing for decades, and equally foreign nationals have not been tracked after entering America as a tourist or other visitor. The pressure groups lobbying in Washington claimed they need workers, so a million or more supposedly top accomplished workers have been immigrating since the early 90’s, instead of the highly skilled people. Now both political parties and the American people wonder why we have a commercial prison industry with outrageous costs. Seems to me it’s very logical, that without serious consequences such as enacting illegal entry as a felony, building a fence according to the 2006 former Bush Secure fence Act or tracking the people, as Mexico has done, who have arrived here posing as a visitor. Then now we are really have to ‘Pay the Piper’ for the outrageous incompetence and unconcerned of those in charge of the people’s protection.
THEREFORE WE NEED PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON THAT HAVE THE BACKBONE TO DO THE JOB. NO MORE CRONYISM FROM THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. WE MUST FILL UP THE HALLS OF CONGRESS WITH TEA PARTY CONGRESS, OR WE WILL KEEP ON REPEATING THE SAME OLD; SAME OLD..?
In a startling incumbent election Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar was defeated by a Tea Party leader Senate nominee Richard Mourdock. And now TEA PARTY favorite Ted Cruz (R) has beaten Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, for the outgoing seat of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Yet another Republican has bitten the dust, replaced a true TEA PARTY supporter. Both hard core Democrats and the Republicans should be very nervous, very worried indeed about incumbent politicians who hopefully lose seats to TEA PARTY growth? The TEA PARTY, which backs Ted Cruz, stated that the race is an omen for the country. Seems to me that ordinary Americans have seen an alternative to both political parties in the TEA PARTY ranks?
Ted Cruz has focused on interior enforcement, workplace verification, and border security. In a NumbersUSA survey response it has shown his commitment to reducing the overall numbers of illegal aliens. Dewhurst, while endorsing a mandatory workplace verification system, has been less than enthusiastic when it comes to border security and interior enforcement. He also supported the Texas in-state tuition bill for illegal aliens passed back in 2001, and as Texas Senate President prevented key enforcement legislation, including Gov. Rick Perry’s anti-sanctuary city, bill from coming to the floor for a vote.
I have no faith in Mitt Romney’s administration, and the serious danger of re-electing President Obama is very tangible. He will want to keep paying out taxpayer’s money to Americans who have no interest in seeking a job or in fact never bothered to work in their lives; the exception being attributed to the sick and handicapped. The only real alternative is the TEA PARTY, which is gathering massive amounts of voters as a storm of confidence in a PEOPLES WASHINGTON, instead of the old guard of Republicans and their opposites. Any individual can join the TEA PARTY, as long as they are here in the United States legally. The TEA PARTY is a ‘political Statement’ about a government that has run amok of the U.S. Constitution, which has nearly bankrupted this country. These nations are being overrun with common criminals from across our borders or fly in impersonating a visitor, with intent to leave. Every day the scale of illegal alien drunken drivers go up, crashing into innocent families. It’s not just a crime rate rising in the Southwest, but the spread of these people bring with them their heinous records from across the globe.
We have Obama’s people shoving ObamaCare—the health care plan NO ONE sought, down our throats; Question—are illegal aliens still going to get a free pass for their health care, while the rest of us pay for it? Slapping Americans with the biggest tax in the history of our nation; applauding the advances of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt; demanding government-paid abortions and blowing away religious freedom; restricting domestic oil, natural gas and coal production and giving free reign to China to buy oil from Canada’s Keystone supplier; approving drones to fly over our own country; defunding the Space and Science Administration (NASA) and the programs; waging war on Libya without a cause; demanding the United Nations obtain out guns; Taking on the second amendment, threatening again, our right to bear arms; Running up the largest treasury deficit in the history of America; Giving BILLIONS to solar companies that have since gone bankrupt and other so called green companies; Refusing to visit Israel, throwing the Jewish people under the bus; Giving illegal’s a free ride on the backs of hardworking citizens and legal residents. Refusing to pass the ‘Legal Workforce Act and the Birthright Citizenship Act.
Further appointing a large majority of Liberal progressive czars (45 “czars” ) into office, whose doctrines are mostly Communist; Putting the enforcement of ObamaCare in the hands of…the IRS; Sucking at the trough, taking 19 vacations in 3 years on ‘THE PEOPLE’S tax dollars; Incompetence of running programs as ‘Fast and Furious’ in which a U.S border agent died. Spending tens of billions in taxpayer dollars and breaking legally binding contracts to give Obama’s union colleges a big, fat payoff; Stimulating NOTHING with his stimulus plans except the wallets of big wigs on Wall Street, then giving banks foreign and domestic billions of dollars, which instead of assisting small business and other loans, poured the money into hedge funds—and his own narcissistic ego; 8% unemployment for 40 straight months; $4 billion in new debt EVERY DAY; Spending, spending, spending while lying and telling Americans we need to cut spending. NEED THE TEA PARTY SAY MORE..?
The TEA PARTY would insist on two immigration policies being passed though the Senate and House of Representatives. But more TEA PARTY leadership must gain more seats in Congress, which seems to be physically happening? Plenty of these moderate conservatives and true believers in our U.S. Constitution are ready to influence the other lawmaker’s to enact policies that assist out of work Americans. It will open up jobs for millions of low income Blacks, Hispanics, Whites Asians and all others legally here nationalities. It is passed time we enacted the ‘Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 2885) and the Birthright citizenship Act (H.R.140)? Isn’t it time that the state of Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and other in the 50 states protect their state borders?
We must substitute not only U.S. lawmakers, but state elected Politians to remove of all pro-illegal alien lawmakers, the Governors, Mayors, Police Chiefs and other elected officials who are catering to illegal aliens.
Every state should be able to keep its public assistance money to help our own, instead of forced by the psychosis of unfunded mandates to pay for illegal aliens and their children? Just review the illegal alien situation in the master Sanctuary State of California. AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD TO SUBSIDIZE OTHER COUNTRIES POVERTY STRICKEN PEOPLE; JUDGE IN YOUR OWN MIND BY RESEARCHING WHAT THESE DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS HAVE PRODUCED IN THE LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, THAT HAVE MASSIVE OUTLAYS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A YEAR. Governors as Jerry Brown must be removed as they are in the pockets of the unions, with these big boys strengthening their power by hiring illegal aliens, which is bad news for California and the majority of other states. AMERICAN CITIZENS MUST PASS THESE TWO GREAT LAWS, IF WE ARE GOING TO GET FROM UNDER THE HEAVY DOLLARS, THE OPEN BORDER, GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN POLITICIANS.
Join your local TEA PARTY to return the government back to THE PEOPLE. Don’t let this chance to change America for the better forever. In TEXAS they have altered their pathway to a better future and with the public’s help. All those policy makers who bend the knee to the 20 million plus illegal aliens will be under an assault, when the TEA PARTY becomes an overall majority in the Republican Party. Every law that has been circumvented by Justice Department such as Sanctuary Cities and State policies, those elected officials will be held accountable. Chain migration and the never ending flood of sponsored immigrants will be re-assessed, as this ends up a taxpayer burden. The DREAM ACT will also be re-evaluated in the near future.
Also–not condemned by the mainstream Liberal Press, or Socialist Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) in the forefront refusing to terminate the annual payout of $4.600.000.000.000 taxpayers’ money in child tax refunds to illegal aliens, with many children not even residing in America. Then another estimated 35 Billion dollars from illegal workers transferred to banks outside the United States, not invested in our nation? Then there is this little annual issue of state payouts of $113 Billion dollars in all these welfare programs for illegal aliens. THE TEA PARTY ARE READY TO COME TO OUR FINANCIAL RESCUE, WHILE THE OTHER PARTIES REMAIN UNCONCERNED OR DELIBERATELY EVADING THIS MASSIVE FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
Remember illegal aliens will be voting in November, if Obama’s Liberals get there way. One should also determine for themselves if Obama has a right to a second term. I cannot judge for anybody but myself and I have afforded the time as a Independent and a TEA PARTY associate to read the evidence concerning the birth records of Barack Obama. There are many irregularities to his background, that has some startling concerns for me, but THE PEOPLE should read about the investigation and then vote accordingly.
