we are the #1 in immigrant for profit and private prisions and def not highest population. how can’t u see the truth of how our country is using the system as a weapon and make their enemies into savages and not worthy humans. There’s a reason why bush’s and many after 90’s they soo many more prisions when crime has not went up. Lets us make out citizens prisoners s for profit and the billionaires not pay for anything. Yeah so logical plus we really made the gangs flourish cause of prisions, without the obvious corruption and allowance these gangs would of never thrived, it really did make the rest of world on how to make a better gang, remeber ms 13 wasn’t from Mexico it’s good ol USA made and so are the guns . If anything these agenda promotes people in gangs,drugs cause they even dismantle mental health care and addiction and their so- is to throw em in a profit camp.
Gop def did this and without democrats it would of became worse, since democrats ceased private prisions being built as much as it was good ol trump just made our immigration as profit , yes that helps America right?
