Been thinking about this one for a while now. It seems like the "efficiency" department is ending up spending way more money than they are saving getting rid of people in departments so it's more revenge than the need for a tax cut for the rich. Next the immigrant thing, I truly don't like the head person nor do I like the head of those that are rounding up the possible "terrorists" I say possible because it has become know that because they haven't taken time to vet or give these individuals due process that not ALL The PEOPLE they've rounded up are terrorists and this is also costing a whole lot more money than it should so again it isn't for tax cuts for the rich it's for trying to keep a campaign promise which they had no idea was going to cost so much to do and rounding up innocent people is truly NOT humane no matter how you look at it.

I've been wondering how much it cost in time and money to find and abduct the young woman from Tufts and send her to detention in Lousiana. If you have not read the story in the Guardian, March 19th, about the Canadian woman who was also put into detention it is worth it do so. She wrote it. This account plus the video of the woman abducted from a street in Boston were gut wrenching. It put an image to the Canadian's words. I cannot imagine the fear these young people felt. The Canadian's description of the experience is harrowing.

these detention centers make a lot of money for each day they keep people captive. Therefore, the longer they keep them, the more money they make.

Yes it is. It also shows up in my phone's news feed. I am not sure if that is because I have a subscription.The French publication Le Monde Diplomatique (left leaning) is also available by subscription, in English. I find it fascinating to see what other countries say about the world and the US. The Telegraph and The Times are also available. The Guardian leans left and the Telegraph leans right. When I lived abroad I was shocked how, in general, the US news was filtered. All countries have their filters but Americans do not tend to read the news from other countries. I think that is dangerous if they want to understand the world in a broader way ;)
