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!

    There are few worse ideas than for a society to make incarceration profitable. Especially for minor offenses, committed by young people, and for illicit drug use, the goal should be rehabilitation, not punishment. We put too many of our citizens in jail- over and over again. If corporations make lots of money from the system we now have, it will not change.

    Let this woman sleep in one of these cells for 24 hrs an live like a detainee – that should wake her up from her sleep and realize what dehumanizing things are done to the immigrants!

    Privatizing doesn’t work in most cases. Back off from this and get to more important topics.

    Hi Debbie, it is important to find the TRUTH about CCA (which i don’t know the truth) but this video raises important points. Generally I am against privatized prisons, as someone at the top generally profits from us tax payers. Unless you are on Board with Rick Scott, you need to investigate this further before you tarnish your good democratic reputation…. david

    No one who even pretends to be progressive should be supporting the privatization of corrections services!
