A lot of the comments seem to miss the point of what these cops are likely doing
It’s a prison for 600 people.
By losing 215 people since 2016, they have essentially been jettisoning (either intentionally or by “gang violence”) 5% of the prison each year.
They get FIVE percent more $, but to do so, requires that they kill 5% of the prison (not to mention recruiting the remainder for a total of “105%” revenue). By not reporting it for months, they kept getting federal payments each/every month for food/water/etc.
While I have you, can I posture another question?
I will preface it with this: I want all of you beautiful ppl to move here and join the (very often dumb as fuck) melting pot. But you need to know that I think you are the target of facilities such as these.
When do the feds step in for the southern states' refusal to handle/(process?) migrants across the border?
Because the way I see it...
The easiest way to flood these prisons w/ that special >105% who won't/can't be asked about (if they're still alive) would be to flood migrants in the south with the illusion of a booming job market and a welcoming population (and then use them as pawns and bus them all around the country to cause conflicts)
Adding this for some context about the border (and general demeanor) in Arizona/Texas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dQ4-VNaG3s
The stats you are using are correct based on the source.
I just don't think I agree w/ taking the Tel Aviv study of <1k people at face value.
Remember, if you didn't see the >700k marching in DC (not a single television broadcast), why would US media show you the Jewish citizens who are pissed w/ Bibi?
Edit: I appreciate you providing the source though! The New York Times has a pretty heavy swing bias, IMO. I'll include both of the polls mentioned below.
