The War on Immigrants Putting Children in Prison

Check out this video about the facility in Hutto, Texas.



This is where the anti-immigrant movement is taking us. They are blaming people with relatively little power for just about every problem you can imagine, from job loss to crime to America's health care crisis. Meanwhile corporate America usually gets a free pass to bust unions, rob pensions, and charge hundreds of dollars for medicine while making record profits. Oh and then there are the billions of dollars going to that unecessary war in Iraq that could be used for health care and education, not to mention the tax cuts for the very wealthy that Bush wants to make permanent. Oh but immigrants are the problem. Right.

I've concluded that if you speak of immigration as a crisis in this country you must either be ignorant or evil.
