US IMMIGRATION IMMIGRANT DETENTION AJE Fault Lines ... Punishment and Profits: Immigration Detention ... Fault Lines investigates the business of immigrant detention in the US. PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Yk_w_TyOo Peter Burgess COMMENTARY I am adding this note a decade after AlJazeera produced this program ... in 2022 compared to the original production date in 2012. It is appalling that this matter has not been addressed by American leadership in this time. Why is it that an issue that is so important cannot be addressed year after year after year. I have been arguing for some time now that there is systemic dysfunction in the modern world, with a lot of the essential organs of government and society unable to move on very much. Meanwhile, some of the most powerful pieces of the economic apparatus are enabled in all sorts of way to do all that they need to do do earn extraordinary returns on their investment and activities. This is enabled by a system of management metrics ... of oversight metrics ... that was designed about 150 years ago and is no longer v ery much 'fit-for-purpose'. Very powerful management metrics exist in support of profit performance by business entities and for investors, but nothing anywhere near as powerful is available to support progress related to quality of life for everyone and all the issues related to climate and the environment. The whole issue of migration is complex, but ignoring it and pretending that it will go away without some serious intervention is not an answer !!!!!!! Peter Burgess
Punishment and Profits: Immigration Detention ... Fault Lines investigates the business of immigrant detention in the US. Apr 11, 2012 Al Jazeera English Al Jazeera is funded in whole or in part by the Qatari government. Wikipedia 9.13M subscribers ... 53,847 views Immigration is a key issue in the US presidential election, with the Republican candidates trying to demonstrate their tough stance on undocumented immigrants. But under the Obama administration, the detention and deportation of immigrants has reached an all-time high. Every day, the US government detains more than 33,000 non-citizens at the cost of $5.5mn a day. That is a lot of money for the powerful private prison industry, which spends millions of dollars on lobbying and now operates nearly half of the country's immigration detention centres. Fault Lines travels to Texas and Florida to investigate the business of immigrant detention in the US and to find out how a handful of companies have managed to shape US immigration laws.
