As a white male who also happens to be a dirty immigrant, the process isn’t that tough. We just put our papers in to start the citizenship process.

Many times it was suggested that they should privatize the prisons in my state to save money, and basically what came back every time was that even if they saved money, the quality of both the people hired and the treatment of the Read more

Prisons may be one of the very few examples of government functions that should not be taken over by or left to private enterprise. If the state has a compelling interest to deny a person their freedom, then it has an equally compelling interest to be responsible for the custody and care of that person until such time Read more

This is one of those scenarios where well-meaning activists made it worse. The trans community demonstrated hardcore against the Santa Ana detention center, decrying it for various (often legitimate) reasons. The immigration community pushed back but ultimately lost out on the influence battle to the LGBT activists Read more

ICE officials believe they have one of the largest populations in the world of transgender people in confinement. Read more
