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!

    Debbie, what the HELL are you thinking? Why won’t you at least meet with these people??? They live in YOUR district, and 99% of them DO NOT want this prison!!! Things like this tell people that despite the differences between Democrats and Republicans, you’re all the same at your core: bought and paid for. Disgusting…

    Actions such as endorsing private prisons are going to further reduce support from the Democratic Party’s base. Please do not support incarceration for profit.

    Immigrants are human beings!! How can you side with these people and call yourself a Democrat? If this is where you stand, I certainly hope you do not get reelected. Too bad I am not in your

    area so I can vote against you if you persist.

    Of all the things that should NEVER be privatized, prisons is at the top of the list. Did you think we wouldn’t notice?

    For-Profit penal operations are NOT the answer for our burgeoning prison populations; even moreso, is this true for so-called “immigrant detention” operations, who are hardly the threat that is advertised. Let them work to send cash back home where it is needed more.

    Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz, I have watched you talk on the Rachel Maddow Show and been very happy with the stances you have taken. However, I am very surprised and disappointed that you would support privatization of prisons. this is part of the “Commons” and should REMAIN in the Commons.
