It's likely the consumers who got screwed here.

LOL @ the claim that illegal immigrants are "necessary".

Make welfare and panhandling less lucrative than working in the fields, and real Americans will start taking those jobs again.

Most of those non-violent offenders don't belong in jail in the first place. Drug war FTL.

Exactly. And incarceration is the punishment. As much as it pains some of you, they're still human beings. Not slaves.

Cut the entitlement programs and there will be people out picking crops. How can someone draw unemployment checks for up to 99 weeks?

Because we all know that incarceration in itself is such an effective method of rehab and of course it's a terrible thing to instill some sort of work ethic in these folks.

They cook the meals, do the laundry, and stamp license plates for $0.25/hr, I fail to see the difference here.

And as far as the reason they are incarcerated, you can debate the usefulness of the laws - if they make sense - but the truth is, these folks chose to break the law with a full understanding of the consequences. They made their bed... It's not like anyone NEEDS to sell drugs or somehow believes it's a legally accepted method of employment.

If incarceration isn't working, change the system. As of right now, you have a whole heaping shit pile of incarcerated people who will never repeat offend because they did not enjoy being locked up like rats.

The minute you let your government balance the books off of your inmates is the day you see a much larger percentage of your population in prison..

Face it motherfuckers. Nobody wants these fucking jobs, except the illegals that they're turning away. You ain't gonna get criminals to fucking do it.

Face it. Motherfuckers fucked everything the hell up, good. Plain and simple.

Stupid, racist, paranoid, isolationist, ignorant, conservatives FUCKED UP HARD THIS TIME, and now EVERYONE pays the fucking price.

Lucky for me, I hate fruits and veggies, so it's no skin off my dick... y'alls gonna feel it at the checkout, though.
