Deportation Makes Money, Period

 U.S. Representatives John Conyers and Zoe Lofgren issued a statement marking the one-year anniversary of the President’s Executive Actions to fix our broken immigration system and after the Department of Justice filed a petition to seek review before the Supreme Court to overturn a Fifth Circuit Court order blocking two of the executive actions of conservative judges temporarily blocked implementation of the Deferred Action for Parental Accountability (DAPA) program and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) – and in doing so, put on hold the dreams of millions of immigrant families nationwide.

Unfortunately, the "statement" is nothing more than really boring, pro forma, congressional, bland, universally. politically appeasing rhetoric that will fly over the heads of most individuals and under the radar of anyone else who cares about the issues of immigration because it is an election cycle.

Allow me to fashion the entire position issue of immigration into a sharper perspective:

It's all about the almighty dollar.

That is correct.  Immigration is all about the money, but for now, I am just going to focus on the industry of child welfare and its relevance to DAPA and DACA,

Every time a child is introduced to the federal detention system, the child goes through a specifically designed foster care system, which has a higher payout, with even more stringent protections from public scrutiny of cost reimbursements and review of the treatment of children.

These child welfare organizations are privately contracted and are not obligated to recognize the civil rights of children, let alone the parents.

The children are shipped off across the country, doped up on antipsychotic medications, therapy, and an entire slew of other federally billable programs.

I must mention, of course, that the children who are born in the U.S., (a,k.a. 'Anchor Babies) are Medicaid billables.

I would be remiss to fail to mention the blustering industry of adoption.  The tax credits are absolutely fabulous, particularly for those "foreign born"  and lil' brown babies.

Using current policies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, these non-profit, mostly religious, contracted child welfare agencies are taking marching orders from the conservative think tanks which are more crafting revenue-maximization schemes, which of course are exempt from taxes and external audits.

Conservative think tanks, in essence, have their work already laid out for them to profit from the targeted populations of children all because liberal think tanks support the ideology of "targeted populations" which is nothing more than racial profiling.

Basically, deportation creates jobs and maximizes revenues for the non-profits, at the expense of the lives of children.

Human trafficking, by any other name, is human trafficking, and so are the residual policies of the peculiar institution.  

Until there is real, open and honest, bipartisan discussions on the nation's child welfare system, nothing will change, ever.
