So... What we have been doing for the longest time? I cannot really think of a time where we did not temporaily detainee people within federal/state prisons for breaking federal law.
People who commit crimes are going to jail? Well fuck me running this guy is a complete and utter fascist!!!!
Yeah how dare people try to escape war torn countries where their lives are at risks. Selfish.
Judge not lest thee be judged
Most of those peeps haven't got criminal records and have not been tried for anything yet.
I want the Republican party to just own up and say they want full blown slavery back
They're already doing their level best to bring it back with a new face by abusing the living fuck out of the thirteenth amendment via constantly working to push through laws and policies that disproportionately affect decidedly nonwhite communities and groups. The vast majority of agricultural labor in the US is performed by immigrant workers and it's sort of a disturbing trend to see how hard the Republican party is constantly is pushing for more and harsher criminalization of immigration and ever stricter entry requirements that make entering legal nigh impossible
This is a pretty solid article on the subject
So now instead of using taxpayer money to send their kids to school, or pay for their healthcare, we're gonna be using it to incarcerate them? Checkmate libcucks! /s
Reminder that the Trump administration does not discriminate between illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.
Interesting article well worth the read.
Striking that immigration has gone down so less immigrants to work in ag and the conditions and pay are so dire few Americans would want to do it. So the gov solution is to lease slave labour to private companies for money.
Also it mentions how the prisoners cannot unionise to demand better treatment.
Land of the free
So we're sending people who broke the law to prison. Fascinating.
Sigma-Lambda said it better than I ever could so I'll just quote their post here:
Hello, it's me, notorious shithead SigmaLambda. Can you imagine my surprise when I saw that I was unbanned again? I have no desire to be unbanned so let me use this opportunity to say shut the fuck up Scorpious. Chopping up families and leaving young American citizens without their parents, snatching people up and stuffing them into vans as they go about their day leaving homes untenanted and jobs abandoned is cruel and pointless. It is an arbitrary exercise of the law which does nothing to make the country a better place and everything to evilly fuck over people who left nothing behind in their home country for them to return to.
You've been peddling your moderate, middle-of-the-road bullshit here for years. You're so spineless that I'm surprised you don't flop over the back of your computer chair like some kind of person-shaped jelly. Don't u know, my dude, that we are living in extraordinary times and "the law" ur standing up for is the vacuous exercise of power by the mean and stupid people in charge? Will you be shrugging your shoulders and saying "well it's the law" when Trump's Secretary of Blood and Fire Beauregard Childfucker III orders the Trumpstaffel to comply with the "Grenade Any Brown People Who Approach the Border from the South Act" that 50 republicans and 2 democrats signed into law and our 17 judge supreme court declared constitutional? History books are filled with heroes and the fat, shithead villains they oppose; there is no space on the pages of history for the milquetoast cowards who live out their lives saying shit like "these jackbooted thugs are just following the law" and "these buffalo wild wings are too spicy. We shouldn't have come here Mother."
Eat my entire ass while you wait for your report to kick in, Scorpious. See you all next year and drive safe.
Under former President Barack Obama, many immigrants without serious criminal records were allowed to await their court dates while living in the United States. Others were housed in immigration detention facilities or local jails. ICE has used federal prisons in the past but not on this scale, sources said.
The new policy drew criticism from immigration advocates and former officials.
...
“A large percent of ICE detainees have no criminal record and are more vulnerable in a prison setting – security staff and administrators at BOP facilities have spent their careers dealing with hardened criminals serving long sentences for serious felonies, and the procedures and staff training reflect that,” he said. “This sudden mass transfer could result in some serious problems.”
Officials of a prison employees’ union said the influx of ICE detainees, who were arrested at the border or elsewhere in the United States by immigration officials, raises questions about prison staffing and safety.
Union leaders at prisons in California, Texas and Washington state who spoke to Reuters said they had little time to prepare for the large intake of detainees.
Imo if you put people who aren't violent into prison you're inviting radicalization.
Who says that isn't what some Republicans want? Gives them a casus belli.
We're sending foreign nationals who have not had a hearing to prison to "house" them. They are called detainees because they are being detained. They may have broken the law, but they also may not have - they're being unreasonably detained and denied their constitutional right to a fair and speedy trial. And yes, that right applies to anybody in the US, not just citizens.
This is like getting pulled over for speeding and then getting chucked in gen-pop federal prison while you're waiting for your trial. You're not being detained in a jail. You're not allowed to post bail. You're not allowed to see a judge to tell you what crimes you're being charged with. You're just sent to fucking prison before you even get to see a courtroom. This is unconstitutional - every single other person in federal prison has been convicted of a crime. None of these people have - they've been detained under suspicion of committing a crime, and they're being lumped into gen-pop federal prisons with convicted murderers, rapists, and other convicts. They have been convicted of nothing. They have been charged with no crime.
If you don't see why this is fucked, I don't know what to say. A cop can't catch someone smoking weed and drive them straight over to prison and tell them they're going to prison for 40 years - there's a legal process where they're charged and convicted of a crime, in front of a judge. This is skipping right over that entire legal process, in the process separating children from their families. Absolute bastardization of our legal system.
Law and order presidents just seem to make more crime, all I'm saying
Gotta meet that prison quota somehow.
