    People emigrate to the USA, because they pin all of their hopes on a better life for themselves and their children. They are willing to sacrifice themselves by working for absurdly low wages under terrible conditions, which most Americans refuse to endure!

    Unlike your fellow democrats, who want to find a humane solution to this problem and eventually grant citizenship, you are siding with the Republicans, who wish to punish these people by shipping them back to their countries of origin — even though it is the Rebubs who shield the agribusiness, which has been depending upon this cheap labor for decades!

    Finally, this is a race issue, normally played by the Repubs against brown-skinned people. Do you think if these emigrants were Caucasians, the same attacks would be aimed at them. Think of your own origins: “Wasserman” — German Jewish — were your ancestors hassled and deported from here because of their faith or skin color??

    Debbie: Say No To CCA!

    Why is FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz siding with the Corrections Corporation of America and not her constituents in Southwest Ranches? 98% of her constituents DO NOT want a new for-profit immigrant detention center!

    IMMIGRANTS ARE NOT FOR SALE

    We call on Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-20) to WITHDRAW her current endorsements for CCA’s project.

    The Obama Administration announced a change in the priorities for detentions and deportations, to focus on real national security concerns, not on separating parents from their children or deporting DREAMers who are only seeking a better future.

    It is time for ICE to stop the immigrant money making machine and tell CCA to GO AWAY from Southwest Ranches.

    THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED - WE REACHED OUR GOAL!!! But feel free to leave your comment!
