Here’s a story from The Economist giving a brief overview how certain corporations profit from border operations, detention, and deportation. (Gift link is good for five views within seven days.)
Companies are making big bucks from immigration crackdowns
It sounds to me that even though their efforts have stalled in court, they are mulling over ways to make it happen anyway, by hook or by crook...
Private prisons should not even exist as they are a perversion of Justice: They get paid for full occupancy, and if the beds are not full, they still get the money.
It creates a perverse incentive to lock people up without due cause, no trial in spite of the 4th Amendment, just to make money...
Don't forget it is OUR taxpayer money funneled into GEO Group and others to maintain these facilities so they can fill them with whatever population trump suddenly decides are not loyal enough. Anyone who does not vote for a Trumpublican could be incarcerated next. We may be paying for our future live in concentration camps.

We are living in a kakistocracy.
Every day a new low, every day a new perversion of justice, every day a new crime of corruption.
Thank you!
