Oh sure, but they'll continually claim until they're blue in the face that everything they do is about money. So they should be continually exposed as the financially irresponsible idiots that they are.

For the people where egregious human rights violations and terrorism aren't deal breakers, wasting money is. Frankly I don't respect their opinion, however, they also vote, therefore their opinion does matter.

It's both. They are unequivocally profiting from the cruelty.

I still think it's about money, especially considering the size of the prison industrial complex. It just so happens that capitalism encourages cruelty when it's profitable.

remember they hid the identity of all the construction companies that help build the florida concentration camp.

But at this point why even bother meeting the quotas? Can't they just lie and tell everyone they deported 3 billion immigrants so that the racist rednecks will all cheer and smile?

While profiting off of it. Government contractors were paid for 100 days of related services for this poor fellow.

He is probably in a for profit prison. There is a big incentive to imprison people. Government provides prisoner, private prison share holders get paid by the public and by the people hiring their prisoners for slave labor and politicians get a kickback.

Only if you believe their words, which you absolutely should not. A for profit prison management company got paid for 100 days detention when they would have gotten 0 if they let this guy leave.

Everything working out as planned.

Private prisons have an incentive to keep people like him in the system as long as possible.

Lives gets destroyed, everyone pay for it, money is diverted from actually useful stuff, but all this is a low price to pay for a handful of mafia bosses to get even richer.

I am a citizen and live in the states, once I finish my planned US vacations this year, I am exclusively going to vacation in other counties.

I don’t want to support the country with any more money than I have to to live and survive

People are only still going to the states because they had trips planned before the shit hit the fan. Once those trips are over, tourism to the states will be near zilch

Gonna be even worse now too with the National Park Service cuts: there are so many foreign tourists at the parks. As there should be too! Our National Parks are amazing!

I'm in a red state tourist town and our overall visitation is down over 30%. That said, international visitors only account for about 3% of tourism in this state, so there's much more involved with that loss than just the international travel.

im betting florida is crushed, given how there hasnt been news for MONTHS since trump began his tariffs.
