They need them for all the dissenters and "unpatriotic traitors" after the next planned attack and martial law. People will have a Nazi experience. Except the Amerikans are the Nazis.

Infowars COMMENT/UPDATE:

More and more reports are coming in that indicate that these camps, built and run under the auspices of housing illegal immigrants from Mexico, are being used as general purpose detention facilities for housing immigrants from other countries. With the WWII era Japanese concentration camps now being federally protected in perpetuity, one must at least start to wonder who they intend to fill these camps with and why. The stage is being set for a major sweep of dissident legal immigrants and resident aliens into these camps. If something is not done before that can occur, its just a matter of time before suburban soccer moms with political lawn signs are behind razor wire.

From this Article: The T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, Texas (on the outskirts of Austin, Texas) is a private detention facility operated by Corrections Corporation of America. It and a smaller center in Pennsylvania are the only two facilities in the country that are authorized to hold non-Mexican immigrant families and children on noncriminal charges.

From The American-Statesman: Juan Castillo recently reported on a private prison in Williamson County where families of illegal immigrants are held to await disposition of their cases. It is one of two Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in the United States holding non-Mexican unauthorized immigrants on noncriminal charges.

One of the more disturbing stories that surfaced after the Swift meat plant raids was how too many children were left without a parent and/or farmed out to friends and families with no immediate word on how they will be reconnected with their mami and papi.

if news filtering out of one of the newly designated immigrant detention centers for families is any indication, no undocumented parent is going to open their mouth and claim their children if the whole family is going to be subjected to what is becoming known as the first known concentration camp on American soil in the 21st Century.

The T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, Texas (on the outskirts of Austin, Texas) is a private detention facility operated by Corrections Corporation of America. It and a smaller center in Pennsylvania are the only two facilities in the country that are authorized to hold non-Mexican immigrant families and children on noncriminal charges.

What does this mean?

It means that at the Taylor facility of the 400 people "held" there, 200 are children. And all are families that can be held there for whatever length of time without due process conducted in a timely manner.

To top it off, as long as the men, women and children are held there, the facility's operator draws a daily profit - per person.

The children range in age from infants on up.

According to the lawyers who have visited their clients in the facility, the children receive one hour of education, English instruction, a day and one half hour of indoor recreation.

Jeans and t-shirts have been replaced with jail uniforms; children are issued uniforms as soon as they can fit into them ? and everyone must wear name tags, even the babies.

Lawyers are reporting that thefamiliess are receiving substandard medical care and becoming ill from the food being served them. Children are losing weight and people are complaining of migraine-type headaches.

Those clients who are asylum seekers, say the lawyers, are continually suffering trauma on top of the trauma they've already undergone in their home countries - all without receiving any kind of pyschological treatment.

Originally, the detention facilities were touted by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff as a way to keep families together while waiting for their cases to come up for court review.

Well, they are accomplishing that goal - to the exclusion of being allowed any outside contact with the rest of the world, aside from those who have lawyers.

The plight of these families caught in a government-sanctioned Hell is slowly spreading ( Texas Civil Rights Review , Austin's American Statesman Editorial , American Statesman article ) but with Christmas less than a week away these families truly need a miracle to let them know that the outside world knows that they are there ? not to mention, the children who need to know that Santa or Los Tres Reyes, or the other Holiday entities observed by those who are not Mexican or Latin American, will know where to find them.

The detention for a prolonged period of any child, regardless of whether or not they are with family members, is beneath what the United States used to stand for.

As of late, the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, under the direction of Homeland Security, has had too many people - on both sides of the immigration debate - shaking their heads as to what our government is capable of subjecting the children of these immigrants to.

We have felt helpless and too many times my Inbox is filled with emails of "What can I do?" or "Where do we go from here?"

There are few issues that demand immediate action, and when children are concerned, it most always warrants as one of those issues.

For children to be held longer than three days, receive but one hour of instruction and only a half hour of recreational play, to be made to feel like criminals by wearing jail jumpsuits and name tags and not have any contact with anyone outside of the facility is a serious violation of the public trust we have in our government, and how we value children in this country.

What can be done?

As cliche as it sounds, it's time to contact our government officials:

Homeland Security (http://www.dhs.gov/xutil/contactus.shtm)

The White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/)

Members of Congress (http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/)

Corrections Corporation of America (http://www.correctionscorp.com/contactus.cfm)

Yet, the secret of doing something, that the blogosphere discovered long ago, is that you don't stop with one email, one posting or one phone call.

The issue must be talked about and circulated until there is action, positive change and the day when all these families can see that they are not alone.

Pretty sad state of affairs. I'm not quite as paranoid as the previous post, but I would not put detention camps above the current Government, Gitmo is a fine example of how we treat dissenters. There are a few prisoners there that were picked up on suspicious circumstances, like one tortured guy telling on someone he didn't like to get the torture to stop, even though the guy he told on had nothing to do with the crime he was accused of,, random conscription of civilians in the combat zone. Who really knows who is guilty of what in Gitmo, but they are there forever if the powers that be so demand. Now picture this happening here in our own backyard, as basically that is the new laws that Bush has been given to pursue his vendetta against anyone he doesn't like! Better not use the buzz words on this or any other sites, or you might find yourself in Never-never land!

This location is to hold those waiting for an immigration trial. It is a privately run prison and not a "camp". The US stopped its "catch and release" because once you release them they rarely if ever show up for there hearing. If these people came into this country with there children and never became US citizens then they go out with there children too. I don't see illegal immigration as being a violent crime and there for really shouldn't fill up our prisons. But at the same time they must be held or all the effort in catching them was waisted.


From The American-Statesman: Juan Castillo recently reported on a private prison in Williamson County where families of illegal immigrants are held to await disposition of their cases.

Illegal immigration is a crime regardless of what country they came from.
