Among the 35 death reviews in this recent report that came out that
have been released through Freedom of Information Act requests,
substandard medical care contributed to at least 15 deaths. And even
when government investigations concluded that a facility violated
government detention standards, the government fails to hold these
private facilities accountable and make sure that changes are made to
address deficiencies that lead to the loss of human life. Instead of spending $3 billion on immigration enforcement and
detention, here is what we could do with that money: We could create
45,000 new middle class jobs. We could build 184 new elementary
schools. We could hire about 55,000 new kindergarten and elementary
schoolteachers.
