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!

    For profit prisons have no place in America, they are a criminal enterprise. ALEC members are hard at work creating ways to keep them full-up. After all, the big wheels at Corrections Corporation of America need to keep their lavish lifestyle, but what about the lifestyle of non-violent drug offenders, immigrants, petty offenders, our kids and any one of us locked up over punitive laws and extended sentences courtesy of ALEC, enacted strictly to fatten the bottom line of these corporations. Do you really trust the justice system any more?

    It’s a shame that she would the CCA when so many of her constituents are against it and because it will profit from the miseries of others at our expense! There’s no reason to support the devious plan of a private corporation to make money by incarcerating as many people as possible.

    Correction and Detention are government functions, and should not be privatized or outsourced.
