This year, with the increased presence of the National Guard, the building of the fence and incorporating drone surveillance, the numbers should decrease even further.<br /><br />There was no need for SB1070 due to the diminishing apprehension rates in Arizona. CCA and Geo Group used their membership in ALEC to "model Legislation" that would increase apprehension and detention of illegal aliens. This was needed by CCA and Geo to fill empty beds that the feds pay them $145.00 per diem per detainee.<br /><br />CCA, Geo Group and Senator Pearce are all members of ALEC - as are another 36 Arizona lawmakers - and they used this model legislation as the basis for SB1070 almost word for word taken from ALEC's Public Safety & Elections Task Force proposed legislation.<br /><br />Now CCA and others are after other states to follow Arizona through proposed legislation mirroring that of SB1070. This is being done by William Gheene of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC ALIPAC, through ALEC's 2000 state lawmaker members circulating the same bill to the individual states.<br /><br />For more on this issue and others related to prison industry operations, CCA, PIECP and SB1070 see my blog at: http://sloan-wwwpiecp-violations.blogspot.com/ or visit my web site at: www.piecp-violations.com.Bob Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142796764110741191noreply@blogger.com
