5. NYT article

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/04/national/04halliburton.html?_r=1&oref=slogin


In recent months, the Homeland Security Department has promised to increase bed space in its detention centers to hold thousands of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. In the first quarter of the 2006 fiscal year, nearly 60 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended from countries other than Mexico were released on their own recognizance.

Domestic security officials have promised to end the releases by increasing the number of detention beds. Last week, domestic security officials announced that they would expand detaining and swiftly deporting illegal immigrants to include those seized near the Canadian border.

Advocates for immigrants said they feared that the new contract was another indication that the government planned to expand the detention of illegal immigrants, including those seeking asylum.

"It's pretty obvious that the intent of the government is to detain more and more people and to expedite their removal," said Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center in Miami.

Ms. Zuieback said the KBR contract was not intended for that.

"It's not part of any day-to-day enforcement," she said.

She added that she could not provide additional information about the company's statement that the contract was also meant to support the rapid development of new programs.

Halliburton executives, who announced the contract last week, said they were pleased.

"We are especially gratified to be awarded this contract," an executive vice president, Bruce Stanski, said in a statement, "because it builds on our extremely strong track record in the arena of emergency management support."

7. Thanks for posting that

I wonder if the blog-world had some influence in getting the NY Times to cover that story. It was on the biz wires a few weeks ago; but it seems the paper covered it only after it exploded at places like DU & other liberal sites.

12. "Halliburton Subsidiary Gets Contract..." but of course.

"...a contract worth up to $385 million for building temporary immigration detention centers to Kellogg Brown & Root, the Halliburton..."

"KBR would build the centers for the Homeland Security Department for an unexpected influx of immigrants, to house people in the event of a natural disaster or for new programs that require additional detention space, company executives said." - How much additional space?

"The contract with the Corps of Engineers runs one year, with four optional one-year extensions. Officials of the corps said that they had solicited bids and that KBR was the lone responder." - Why? Because Cheney would not allow any other bidders? What's up with this?

"A spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Jamie Zuieback, said KBR would build the centers only in an emergency like the one when thousands of Cubans floated on rafts to the United States. She emphasized that the centers might never be built if such an emergency did not arise. "It's the type of contract that could be used in some kind of mass migration," Ms. Zuieback said." - Yeah, right. "some kind of mass migration." :eyes: Bull fucking shit! It's for ALL of us! :mad:

"A spokesman for the corps, Clayton Church, said that the centers could be at unused military sites :scared: or temporary structures and that each one would hold up to 5,000 people." - or 500,000 people. Who believes these fucking fascists?

""When there's a large influx of people into the United States, how are we going to feed, house and protect them?" Mr. Church asked. "That's why these kinds of contracts are there."" - ... said the Nazi.

"Mr. Church said that KBR did not end up creating immigration centers under its previous contract, but that it did build temporary shelters for Hurricane Katrina evacuees." - Right. WE WERE LEFT TO DIE! :grr:

"In recent months, the Homeland Security Department has promised to increase bed space in its detention centers to hold thousands of illegal immigrants awaiting deportation." *OR AMERICANS WHO ARE AGAINST BUSHLER* "In the first quarter of the 2006 fiscal year, nearly 60 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended from countries other than Mexico were released on their own recognizance." - That's because they needed them for cheap labor here in New Orleans to work for their Texan Overlords.

"Domestic security officials have promised to end the releases by increasing the number of detention beds. Last week, domestic security officials announced that they would expand detaining and swiftly deporting illegal immigrants to include those seized near the Canadian border." ... and American youth fleeing the upcoming draft.

"Ms. Zuieback said the KBR contract was not intended for that. "It's not part of any day-to-day enforcement," she said." She added that she could not provide additional information about the company's statement that the contract was also meant to support the rapid development of new programs." - What new programs? The torture and release programs, or the torture, murder then cremate programs???

"Halliburton executives, who announced the contract last week, said they were pleased." - Oh yeah, mass murder is orgasmic to those lizards!
