Jailing Undocumented Immigrants Is Big Business (VIDEO)

Over the past three years, immigration politics has seen more restrictive legislation at the state level and the unprecedented enforcement of current laws by the Obama administration. Together, the laws and the stepped up enforcement have the potential to bring tens of thousands of individuals into for-profit jails.

**Opinion**

It's all okay if it's stalled or blocked from the GOP. By this, they continue to get what they want even while not the majority in power. However, if the tables were to be turned, many want to blame the Democrats (i.e., if compromise isn't reached, like most recently with the budget deficit). While it may make sense in some instances, I don't believe that it does for all. Maybe Democrats should employ the same tactic. The so-called negotiations/outcomes between politicians seems more like an old jr. high sport rivalry rather than an actual debate and fair settlement.

Great video!
