The point is that it's EXPENSIVE to deport people. $1000 is a small fraction of what it costs to deport someone. Ii suspect the article is actually rather conservative when it comes to calculating the total cost. They need to factor in the building and maintenance of detention centers, the legal costs of representation, food and transport. It's a whole industry. The for-profit detention centers have every incentive to detain people for far longer than they should, and bill the taxpayer.
I hope the economic aspects of deportation, and the profit angle of private businesses are more widely explained and spread by journalists. Basically it's government-approved human trafficking to line the pockets of prison stock holders and CEOs. |
LOL foreign folks will just use a VPN to spoof the departure and the arrival home.
I'd love to know how they verify any of this. 50 bucks says they welch on the $1000 payment. |
Yay, pay all the non-criminals to leave, so we can keep th criminals. |
If there's one thing people say about Trump, it's that he always pays his debts after people do what he asks.
He's not constantly being sued for non-payment on contracts, right? Right? Right? |
So now Trump wants to put the hardworking people in the prison industry out of jons? He better start putting tariffs on Chinese prisons to they start buying more prisons from USA. |
Nah. They will eventually end up in either CECOT or Rwanda. |
