For-Profit Prisons and Immigration w/guest Alan Zibel of Public Citizen

Join us with special guest Alan Zibel of Public Citizen (www.citizen.org) as we discuss Alan's recent report titled "Detained for Profit: Spending Surges under U.S. Immigration Crackdown". For-profit prisons play a key role in U.S. immigration detentions and receive billions each year of our taxpayer dollars.  Are for-profit prisons a good or bad idea?  How do immigration policies like the Flores Agreement impact the number of immigrant detainees arriving at our southern border?  What are potential solutions to ensure immigrant children and families aren't waiting months for their immigration cases to be heard?  Read Alan's report for yourself here: https://www.citizen.org/article/detained-for-profit-spending-surges-under-u-s-immigration-crackdown/
