Speechless!
Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer -- Has Lobbying Ties To 'For Profit' Immigration Prisons RACHEL MADDOW'S EXCLUSIVE REPORT: An exclusive report about politics and retaliation, and a politician who was supposed to be a rising star in the Republican Party, apparently running on fear -- fear of exposure. It starts with the issue of illegal immigration. As you can tell by the sheer volume of anti-immigrant politicking in the country right now, the illegal immigration problem must really be exploding.
That is true if by exploding you mean that it is down 67 percent.
The Pew Hispanic Center, which is widely considered to be the most authoritative source of numbers on this subject, they have release a new report saying that in the past decade, the number of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States has dropped by two-thirds.
So, the sudden uptick in yelling about illegal immigration, blaming immigrants for everything from Obama being elected to swine flu to kidnapping the Lindbergh baby, that is not happening because illegal immigration is getting worse.
It is actually getting better. The uptick in anti-immigration stuff is not really about immigration at all. It is about what makes good politics for anti-immigration politicians. And bits what make big profits, apparently, for some very well connected people.
