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!

    Dear Ms Wasserman Shultz, As a judiciary interpreter I have first hand knowledge of CCA facilities. The involuntary detention of human beings should never involve the profit motive. Please reconsider.

    Prisons are closing in Colorado leaving communities employment numbers plummeting and the “private prison”

    industry demanding subsidies to keep people employed. This includes the CCA you are dealing with.

    We do not need more prisons, we need to be letting non-violent offenders out.

    For profit prisons is an insane idea. The profit motive is in locking more and more people up, not in letting them go when their prison term is over.

    Debbie, Take another look at this issue. Talk to Gabby Giffords about it. This is a case of the criminalization of non-violent crimes for private profit. The effort has a gigantic opportunity cost that takes away what should be taking place. You are potentially on the wrong side of this issue. What exactly is your position on this?

    Wasserman Schultz. Sounds like a good Aryan name to go with the blue eyes and blond hair. Hitler will be proud.
