Look at all those DHS people and driving all new equipment burning gobs of diesel as they go about trying to look busy. What’s that cost?Look at all the corporate owned prisons housing these people. I am assuming that the cost detaining these immigrants is quite high.

Is it worth $100,000? $200,000?, more? to kick out some tomato picker, or is this an excuse to create a “functioning” federal police state?
