TR was a RINO.   Lincoln, Reagan, Trump, were the only good and effective GOP presidents. I can understand the hate for Trump, but a lefty article that fails to bring up Reagan is absurd.

‘Perverse’ Incentives: How Local Governments Might Cash In on Trump’s Migrant Detention

Shannon Heffernan, The Marshall Project, Jan. 4, 2025

"Just before the 2024 presidential election, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said that if former President Donald Trump won, he would get back into the “deportation business.” Now, the suburban Ohio sheriff has set aside 250 to 300 beds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees — around a third of Butler County Jail's capacity, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer, and a boon to the county’s revenue. Overwhelming evidence shows immigrants are less likely to commit crime than people born in the U.S. Sheriff Jones himself concedes that immigrants are not more prone to crime. However, he has echoed Trump’s immigration rhetoric and vowed to do his part to enforce Trump’s plans to deport undocumented immigrants. “I believe in American citizens first. People that have blood and sweat into this country have fought for it, them first. These other countries aren't first. We are,” Jones told WLWT. The detention part of the “deportation business” could be a profitable one for Butler County. In 2024, the county made over $6.7 million renting jail beds to other local and federal government agencies, including the U.S. Marshals and the Bureau of Prisons. Even before Trump’s re-election, Butler County budgeted for an increase in that revenue to an estimated $8.5 million in 2025, according to the Journal-News. A county commissioner offered support for the sheriff’s plans to rent more beds to ICE: “Obviously, the more prisoners we have, the more revenue it produces,” Commissioner Don Dixon said. ..."

Employers civil forfeitures ?….oh, silly me 

 

https://research.newamericaneconomy.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/01/NAE_GTCN_Butler_Brief_2021.pdf

said link is fishy in that it lumps them together as immigrants and does not differentiate between legal and illegal in many of the charts..

It uses the term undocumented immigrants which is obviously contra logical, I filled up the car yesterday so was charged tax, but nowhere was I asked my status.

Incoming Missouri state lawmaker introduces bill to give $1K to anyone who turns in illegal migrants

 

Republican state Sen.-elect David Gregory proposed a measure that would offer $1,000 to any person who turned in an illegal migrant who is subsequently arrested.

SB 72 would allow the state's Department of Public Safety to "develop an information system for people to report violations of this act which shall include a toll-free telephone hotline, e-mail and online reporting portal."

 

The bill would also create the "Missouri Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program" which would allow local citizens to serve as bounty hunters "for the purpose of finding and detaining illegal aliens" in the state
