Interesting twitter thread on trump repaying campaign donor with DACA

prisoners for ICE:




DACA thread:
Don't be fooled by @realDonaldTrump. Ending #DACAis simple Follow the money. Here we go:

Thread alleges GEO Group made substantial donations to trump campaign. Arresting DACA dreamers provides prisoners for GEO, a private prison company. They charge $150/day, barely keep them alive, work them for $1.00 a day.

So they get $150×800,000 and slave labor.

Anyone know for certain that this is happening?

Second,he has his Fascist base to seascape. Thirdly,this is a cornerstone idea of both Trump and his donors and his Religious backers.

Rachel Maddow explained what the real story is and going to be,tonight. White Christian America circa 1890.
