It is quite difficult to get a lawyer visit or proof of life for a detainee, even if you have lawsuits being filed from outside and string-pulling from representatives.
There are also categories of prisoners who are being told by guards that they'll never get out, never see legal process or summary deportation, they will just rot in a cell indefinitely.
We got our very own US made Concentration camp:
Mass detention without due process.
Horrible surviving conditions without simple human rights.
Corporal and lasting mental punishments.
Made to intimidate and isolate a group of the population.
Administered by state paramilitary contractors.
Remember how for decades Republican politicians would build grassroots support by talking about illegal immigration and employment, but then once they got into office they would do absolutely nothing about it? Think about it - have you finally persevered, "won", and gotten this policy position to the national stage? Or do you perhaps think the porous borders have finished serving their purpose (breaking unions and depressing labor in general), and now the corporate puppeteers are using the situation as an excuse to drive the next anti-Liberty con? Which explanation strokes your own ego? Which explanation fits the pattern of how this government actually operates?
Anybody who still thinks this is about immigration or the labor market is basically deluding themselves. The focus on illegal immigrants is merely being used as a pretext to justify an end-run around the Constitution, limited government, and basic human rights for all of us, period.
I don't understand the point in detaining immigrants indefinitely. If they're in the country illegally, they must be put on the first flight to their home country. If they're not illegal, they must be freed. No one needs to be detained for more than 48 hours. Their humanitarian and medical requirements must be fully met. Civilized countries do not allow for indefinite detention.
