[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Immigration into our southern border

[Steve Ediger via OE]

Here is a consise article about how Operation Streamline was produced by ALEC and private prison
corporations Correction Corp of America and GEO (formerly Wackenhut) to ensure
their continued profits. By criminalizing immigration, these private prisons are
kept at or over capacity with migrants that lack paperwork and when caught by
the Border Patrol are subjected to the Operation Streamline process that
criminalizes them.
Here's a paragraph from the article It is no coincidence that CCA and GEO have made record profits every year since
the implementation of Operation Streamline in 2005. GEO’s annual revenue has
increased at an average of 18% per year and CCA’s annual revenues increased by
46% between 2005 and 2011. The federal government paid these two companies more
than $1.4 billion in 2011, more than twice what they did in 2005. As a result,
incarcerated immigrants brought these two private prison companies an estimated
$1.3 billion in revenue per year.
