Are you going to sit by drinking latte while your government begins rounding up the 12 million? 30 Billion in 2006 is being spent, regardless of any new immigration bill. And no surprise, it's being forked over in large part to Halliburton's KBR for "immigration emergency" plans now being executed to detect, detain and deport any immigrant without papers, and anyone who helps them. Don't want a prison camp in your backyard? Speak up now. This episode: SourceCode investigative reporter Joe Richey on the Department of Homeland Security's ongoing build-up of detention and removal camps. What's an immigration emergency and who's calling for one? Update on No More Death's Shanti and Daniel - awaiting trial for providing humanitarian aid to border crossers. New America Media's Daffodil Alton reports on student protest in LA. Wake up folks, they're legislating an enforced intolerance and bigotry into your country. Don't let them do it.
