Those are all links about immigration, and you ignored the content of the post:

....In October 2011 President Obama tapped Broderick Johnson as a senior advisor for his re-election campaign.

...Since President Obama’s first day in office the Corrections Corporation of America and The GEO Group have been awarded $1.7 and 1.8 billion dollars in federal contracts, respectively. And beginning in October 2011 the Corrections Corporation of America has taken its place as the government’s top contractor whereas the GEO Group comfortably maintains the third-place position. Finally, according to USAspending, over one-quarter of private prison contracts have been established under “non-compete” agreements.


Immigrants aren't the only potential inmates of these prisons. Imprisoning people for profit is wrong. And the system is being actively grown.
