That's devastating. I knew it was bad and have called my two spineless senators multiple times this week to no avail-- they're 2 of the vile Dems enabling this vicious legislation-- but now I'm vibrating with rage and anguish. We've normalized harming the most vulnerable among us at a time when we should be standing together to heal the world that's literally burning up.
Corruption over rights, who needs the amendments, when you have "a small group of private prison officials, surveillance companies, and lots of government bureaucrats are about to make billions of dollars and create permanent new jobs and bureaucracies that will be impossible later to dismantle"
Democrats are as bad as Republicans in most ways and even worse in some (for example, militarism), so no evil they do surprises me at this point. Both parties are completely owned by corporate America and AIPAC.
I'm Jewish, Carl. I'm only stating the truth: that AIPAC has an outsized influence on US politics, and both parties are to a significant extent afraid of and controlled by it. AIPAC does not equal Jews. You are equating Jews with Zionism and Zionist organizations, which is itself antisemitic and prejudiced.
The constitutional bedrock of the United States as a sovereign entity is that is is governed by those residents defined as citizens. A citizen member of the Club has defined rights and responsibilities. At the end of the Civil War there was a turbulent time when who was in and who was out led to loyalty oaths and the Klan. The federal government has always fixed the policy to regulate immigration on one hand and to fix or reform the definition of civil rights.
The Biden administration opted to fail to enforce the outstanding enforcement of immigration and so enticed and abetted the entry into the territory of the United States large numbers of non-citizens. For many who are now settled into civil life and leading a productive life they will have to be given a fair proceedure to formalize their admission to The Club. Those who do not conform though are certainly subject to detention and deportation.
The enforcement problem with this 'bad' lot is where to park them. Forcibly shoving them into say, Mexico is hardly feasible. Naturally, the penal industry racketeers are salivating at the expected profits of a new large crop of criminalized personnel.
Maybe dump them in the Ukraine army and pay the Russians a fee for their certain attrition in combat. Or, sent them into the UK on rubber boats where the governing fools there will hardly object.
This bill makes me shudder with vehement anger at the MAGA MAROONS who thought that using Lakin Riley's name against her families wishes and politicizing the trauma that they have endured was an acceptable way to spread their zeniphobia in the halls of Congress. They knew that they had to do this after Joe Biden would have a chance to veto it and Deadbeat Donnie is in office to go along with it. They disgust me. 😒
Alex has always been quite meticulous in his research and he has seen the results of private prison lobbying and xenophobic right wing legislation as a result oftentimes as an over reaction. You may find the need to poke holes in his assumptions but is this really the place to be doing that?
Wow I didn't know it was this bad. Thanks for your ongoing work exposing copaganda.

Thanks, Alec. Will do my best to share this.
