Thread: Illegal Aliens: Cheap labor for prison industry complex?

On February 22, 2008, DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff and Attorney General Michael Mukasey conducted a press conference to announce their collaboration and commitment to strict immigration enforcement and border security using existing immigration laws.

Does this mean that they are going to begin to round up illegal aliens? Could this be the reason for building so many detention camps at undisclosed locations throughout much of the U.S., along with thousands of railcars ?

Perhaps our government has two things in mind for illegal aliens:

Use millions of illegal alien men to re-build and strengthen our military for fighting more neo-con wars to advance their agenda for establishing "one world order?"

Use incarcerated illegal aliens as cheap labor for the "prison industry complex" to compete with third world labor markets?


According to Vicky Pelaez in her article titled, "The prison industry in the United States: big business or a new form of slavery?":

"A prison population of up to 2 million - mostly Black and Hispanic - are working for various industries for a pittance. For the tycoons who have invested in the prison industry, it has been like finding a pot of gold. They don't have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time. All of their workers are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don't like the pay of 25 cents an hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells."

"The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and its investors are on Wall Street. "This multimillion-dollar industry has its own trade exhibitions, conventions, websites, and mail-order/Internet catalogs. It also has direct advertising campaigns, architecture companies, construction companies, investment houses on Wall Street, plumbing supply companies, food supply companies, armed security, and padded cells in a large variety of colors."

"According to the Left Business Observer, the federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, ID tags, shirts, pants, tents, bags, and canteens. Along with war supplies, prison workers supply 98% of the entire market for equipment assembly services; 93% of paints and paintbrushes; 92% of stove assembly; 46% of body armor; 36% of home appliances; 30% of headphones/microphones/speakers; and 21% of office furniture. Airplane parts, medical supplies, and much more: prisoners are even raising seeing-eye dogs for blind people."

The prison industry was once heavily involved in telemarketing and phone surveys--don't know if that is still the case.
