Concentration Camps for Immigrant Children Victimized by Swift Raids and Beyond

A very bad precedent threatens everyone's rights and liberty.

Privatization of Prisons puts profit over rights:

It means that at the Taylor facility of the 400 people "held" there, 200 are children. And all are families that can be held there for whatever length of time without due process conducted in a timely manner.

To top it off, as long as the men, women and children are held there, the facility's operator draws a daily profit - per person.

And of course, a corporate prison must honor the stock holders by cutting costs:

Lawyers are reporting that families are receiving substandard medical care and becoming ill from the food being served them. Children are losing weight and people are complaining of migraine-type headaches.

Since it drives up costs to avoid it, child neglect and abuse can be expected:

For children to be held longer than three days, receive but one hour of instruction and only a half hour of recreational play, to be made to feel like criminals by wearing jail jumpsuits and name tags and not have any contact with anyone outside of the facility is a serious violation of the public trust we have in our government, and how we value children in this country.

Will the "national supremacy" argument collapse into the emancipation of non-U.S. citizens? Or will it collapse into the violation of everyone's rights--a new norm? The trend seems toward the later. In one of the latest of known cases of U.S. citizens being disappeared for 96 days, the U.S. government subjected an innocent U.S. citizen to the same rights violations: indefinite detention, neglect, humiliating and degrading treatment, no access to court or lawyer. That some would dismiss this line of reasoning as "conspiracy theory" attest to terrible trend's will to repress its opposition.

Update: A FOX commentator is now arguing in favor of detention camps for U.S. jounralists who merely express dissent.
