This is how corporatists take over governments, Corporation that runs immigration detention centers is top donor for two Texas congressmen

One of the country’s largest operators of private immigration detention facilities has made significant contributions to several Texas members of Congress. In Texas, GEO operates detention centers for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Karnes City, Laredo, Pearsall and Conroe.

My thoughts on this news

This is how the rich get richer and destroy democratic governments, they buy and bribe politicians to use tax payer's money to enrich their own corporations. This is how it works, this corporation (GEO) who runs these private detention centers and locks up all the illegal immigrants gets all their funding from US taxpayers (the US government). So what do they do to ensure they continue getting funding from the US government, it is really simple they pay/bribe US politicians that make decisions on how much funding this corporation should get from the US government. So in Texas they give money to Congressmen who serve on the House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee, which funds private immigration detention centers. So the Congressmen get money from the corporation and in return the corporation gets more tax payer money from the same Congressmen who decide how much money this corporation should get from the government. In the meantime the US tax payers and the illegal immigrants get fucked, while the rich get richer. The US government and democracy is being destroyed by the wealthy and greed...
