ARIZONA "SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS" AND PRISON PROFITEERING: The Hidden Connection, Rachel Maddow, Aug. 12, 2010

Richard Kigel · Friday, August 13th 2010 at 1:18PM · 704 views
For those who can't get enough RM (I'm looking at YOU, Irma!!!) here is another fine example of excellence in journalism. First, she does her homework. She makes sure she has her facts straight. Second, her astute analysis makes unexpected connections that show some insidious and greedy motivations behind the notorious immigration law. Third, she does it without namecalling or insult. She just presents the facts.

AS ONE NETWORK SAYS: "WE REPORT--YOU DECIDE."

Another point I forgot to mention: RM forces the Gov of Arizona to explain to the people of her state why privatizing prisons is a good idea when they have such a terrible track record.

Let's see how she tries to talk her way out of this!!!

Irma--

Anything for you!!!

Wow!!! What a bombshell that Racheal Maddow has dropped on Arizona Governor!!!!!!! Thanks so very much for this blog piece Brother Rich. I see why these poor undocumented immigrants are being hunted down~~ for the $$$$$ ~~ they'll generate for the money strapped Arizona if they decide to get rid of undocumented in their State or should I say relocate them (to prisons that will generate money for the State).

Let the good ole' Governor answer to the American people and Arizonians what is the reason she's trying to usurp the roll of the Federal Govt. in passing Immigration Reform and why she has people who have been lobbyists and have connections to Corrections Corporation of America. I think there's a conflict of interest big time and that someone needs to resign their posts ASAP!

Jen:

I know. Here is a case where the public interest is blatantly being violated. The government is bringing in an incompetent system to profit a company that the governers staff has economic ties to.

It was an Arizona TV station that did the investigative journalism. And I'm with you--I'd like to see those citizens stand up and ask for heads to roll.

Yup, Irma--RM is AWESOME!!!

Yes, Irma.

He did good. He came firmly in support of the US constitution.

As any President would and should.

Thanks Clark. As usual, you are right on the mark.

I would also like to point out that the profit incentive also applies to Health Insurance, the MIlitary AND Education.

Where the main drive is to increase profits, actual service suffers.

Hopefully, that possibility with light a fire under the Dems.

And hopefully, the looey right will persuade some independent voters that they are just too out of touch.

Hopefully.
