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!

    CCA’s immigration detention centers are nothing more than “Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enlsavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II” (Blackmon, Anchor Books, 2008) with immigrants as the victims. Profiting from the incarceration of the vulnerable and exploited was wrong in the 1800 and 1900s, and it is wrong now. What are you thinking?

    We don’t need a “prison” industry! I question her motives, and would call her on the carpet for a privatizing prisons system. Just another scam for some big money source to enrich themselves.

    Private prisons are not interested in education or rehab of prisoners.

    There should be no such detention centers anywhere in the US. They totally deny the rights of the people they incarcerate illegally.

    A private correctional situation is so wrong, on many fronts. Please don’t do it.
