Immigrant Detention Bed Quotas Cost Taxpayers, Profit Private Prison Companies

Since the beginning of the Obama administration, federal authorities have operated under a quota system mandated by Congress for immigration detentions that has proven costly for taxpayers but beneficial for private prison companies.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has had to maintain enough space in detention centers for 34,000 immigrants a day, as a result of legislation approved by Congress five years ago. Keeping that many beds available, regardless of the actual need, has consumed more than $2 billion a year, according to the Center for American Progress (CAP), a progressive think tank.

NOW WE KNOW WHY. THIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITY WAS PLANNED!

I expect progressives to ignore this because they were complaining about this back then. And now it gives credence to the theory that this administration planned all this illegal border crossing.
