This is the exact reason for the immigration crackdown.

Not violent criminals.

Not rapists.

Not murderers.

Paying off the donors to DeSanturd and Pedo47.

Always follow the money.

Always follow the money.

I was reading some articles yesterday about the money flowing to private prison companies for migrant detention.

One of them mentioned contents of an investor call where an "analyst" (they misspelled piece of s*&^) commented that the massive 700% increase in profits was great and all, but they were only running at 70,000 people when they were expecting cashflows more in the range of 100K people.

It's monetized human trafficking being done right out in the open for the benefit of investors looking for a wide open conduit to the US treasury.

"It's monetized human trafficking"

Correct.
These migrants lives are simply pass-throughs for the Corporate Welfare.

Another thing:
Converting empty warehouses to concentration camps tells us we could also be turning empty warehouses to homeless shelters or job training facilities.

But "We don't have money for that."
And "It's not Government's job to provide for Americans."

They've basically run the same scam for education and health care; for-profit elementary schools? CVS in the Medicare Advantage bidness?

The list is long.

Now do military contractor spending!

Remember the $2B missing in the military spending audit? No one does because 9/11 happened the day after it was released so we had to spend even more.

Most corrupt government since the civil war.

Any bets on the Porta Pot's maker being a donor?
