Part of Bidens Campaign promises was to Close the Camps.
“Close them down. By the way, we don’t need them,” Biden said of detention centers. “We don’t have to keep kids in a cage.”
Biden’s campaign website said that if elected, he would “End for-profit detention centers” and “End prolonged detention and reinvest in a case management program.”
There comes a time where we are taking words as actions & not understanding that the only thing that is changing is the "abuser"
"The Biden administration’s hesitation to phase out the use of for-profit detention facilities comes as it seeks to broadly reset the country’s immigration agenda, including rolling back many of former President Donald Trump’s policies and proposing legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants living in the country to eventually become citizens."
There can be no legit Immigration Reform without addressing the Detention Centers. Stopping the abuse & neglect of human beings should be a no-brainer right ?
Why would facilities that allow forced hysterectomies & children to be molested still be allowed to operate without any oversight or change in how the system is run ?
Why ?
"Private companies operate the bulk of the nation’s more than 200 existing immigration detention centers that advocacy groups say are unjust and inhumane.
An estimated 81% of immigrants who are in detention are held at privately-run facilities, according to the Detention Watch Network, a group that is seeking to abolish immigration detention in the United States.
Advocates describe the privately run detention centers as de facto prisons, where immigrants are confined in close, restrictive quarters. Reports from the DHS Office of Inspector General, they point out, have cited some of these facilities for providing inadequate medical care and unsafe conditions."
When we are all on the same page there will be change not when some of us are still saying "be positive he means well"
Some are attempting to pacify others with the "wait and see" approach.
I just dont understand the logic when people are being abused everyday.
Is that what we would want from other if the tables were turned ?
Wouldnt we want immediate action to stop being abused or would we say, wait hes a good guy, lets see wait & see what happens.
Its borderline cointelpro telling Raza to not be so upset "it could be worse."
Lets stay awake, aware & vigilant in our causes.
We need to act & move with courage & purpose.
Lets keep demanding change until there is change, you dont stop when they "say" ok we will change it.
What kind of getting comfortable in an abusive relationship attitude is that ??
All policy needs follow through.
