Imprisoning Immigrants for Fun and Profit

Immigrants who come to the U.S. seeking jobs, freedom, and a better life, are often thrown into prison, with their children, for years. They are not accused of any crime, but simply held, unable to work or live ordinary lives, until legal knots are untied. This can take years.


The prisons are run by private, profit-seeking companies.

Seems most people have never heard of this.

Here are some links so you can get caught up.

Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."
