Currently, in 2015, Obama by Presidential Executive Orders is feverishly granting
clemency by commuting "non-violent" prisoner sentences to reduce the incarcerated inmate numbers. On July 13, 2015 it was the largest clemency grant since the 1960's. This is while alien arrests increased exponentially as lax federal laws allow more illegal aliens entry with residency.
A story below was printed in 2014 by an uber-liberal newspaper, the Los Angeles Times, crying about the need to incarcerate an even larger population of Hispanics; whining about the lack of jail space due to growing illegal aliens, criminals and gang felons populations; wailing about the poor families who cannot easily get out to visit their family members; sniveling about the detainees complaining about their diet and facilities--they are hardly a privileged class or are they?
Typically these illegal aliens all chose to come to the United States to win their "Jackpot of Welfare Gold for Life." President Obama has bequeathed upon these multitudes of uneducated, untrained and unwanted refugees whose own countries don't even want or need them either--frankly, they are a zero asset drain that bankrupts economies worldwide--just look at Europe bearing the African continent's illegal hordes flooding into the European Union with no education or trades taxing their economies, customs and cultures-SAD.
Think hard about all those illegal U.S. aliens, putting aside the obvious humanitarian feelings, they contribute nothing now or in the immediate future or even in the next generation paying with any substantive economic monetary growth to offset their huge social services burdens with billions more in taxes taken away from educated, working American citizens.
To even compete in earnings within a capitalistic society they must read and speak fluent English to get educated or trained to be productive individuals--"No habla in inglés, no hay trabajo!"--Painfully, many of them can't even read what I just wrote in Spanish!
Southern California's largest immigrant detention center to expand

July 8, 2014
Immigrant advocacy groups are protesting the expansion of Southern California's largest immigrant detention center, arguing the federal government should instead be directing resources to children seeking asylum.
The sprawling detention complex in the high desert town of Adelanto has the capacity to hold 1,300 men. The construction project underway will add 650 beds, including a women’s housing unit.
Immigrant advocates have long opposed a federal quota that requires the government to pay for 34,000 beds in detention centers each night. They say the government should not be spending to expand its detention system for immigrants, especially as the country grapples with how to house a recent influx of asylum-seeking minors from Central America.
not to grow private prisons,” said Luis Nolasco, a member of the Justice For Immigrants Coalition, which has been collecting donations for immigrant children who have recently arrived in the Inland Empire. It doesn't end at 18, those kids will grow up to be single parents as well and become entitlement Americans and vote for more Democrat destroying policies and candidates.The Adelanto facility houses detainees in ICE custody who are waiting for a decision in their immigration cases or are waiting to be repatriated. Detainees wear prison-style jumpsuits and often stay there for months at a time.
The facility is run by GEO Group, a private company from Florida. GEO is contracted by the city of Adelanto, which signed an intergovernmental service agreement with ICE to house detainees.
Officials in Adelanto support the expansion, which they say will help the town's struggling economy, which is grappling with an 18% unemployment rate. The city, which also faces a $2.6-million budget deficit, earns 75 cents each day from GEO for every detention bed filled, according to Adelanto City Manager Jim Hart. More beds mean more money for the town. “It takes an existing facility, expands it, and creates more jobs,” Hart said. “That’s a financial benefit for the city.”
County jail and a state prison facility that is also run by GEO. The city of 31,000 residents recently proposed building a 3,280-bed jail that it hopes to lease to Los Angeles County, which would use it to house inmates when its own jails are full.On Monday, several immigrant advocacy groups asked U.S. Rep. Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park) to tour the facility at Adelanto, where she spent three hours walking the grounds, sampling the food in the cafeteria and browsing the resources available in the center's law library.
Speaking to immigrant advocates protesting outside, Chu said she did not notice anything especially worrisome about the facility, although she said she spoke to one inmate who complained that detainees were not given enough to eat or enough time to work on their cases in the law library.
