Who OWNS those concentration camps?

[Baltimike]

I bet it is a private corporation of some sort. At 700+ per day per person, SOMEONE is raking it in...

1. Technically, taxpapers probably do

The facilities are probably rented (with tax dollars) by the contractors

[Baltimike]

2. If We The People own it, we should be able to see what's up. nt

6. So our tax dollars are paying for businesses to profit off of concentration camps

The government is the middleman, and I wouldn't be shocked if Trump and others around him take a cut.

3. Considering that we privatize everything, follow the money.

I'd be willing to bet a Koch or Blackwater/XE/whatever subsidiary is behind this.

4. The one in Homestead, FL is owned by a private for profit company

Some others are as well, but most of them are government-run ICE facilities.

8. this one and that one...and then MOST?

Cheese and rice on a cracker, how many of them ARE there?

9. Hundreds

Here's a place to start:

Freedom for Immigrants maintains the most up-to-date map of the U.S. immigration detention system. The map keeps track of the more than 200 immigrant prisons and jails in the U.S. as well as the programs in our visitation network.

This isn't just the border facilities that are currently hitting the news, mind you. While the shit is hitting the fan because of the handling of refugees at the border, this is not a new problem and it is not limited to border states.
