Those lovable Iranians

They are incensed–incensed!–at perceived injustice, wherever they find it in the world, particularly if it’s outside of Iran and in Texas–in this case right up the road from the Rancho in a little town called Taylor.

"There is a prison camp in Taylor, Texas named Hutto Residential Center [actually, the T. Don Hutto Residential Center]. It opened in May of last year. It has hundreds of children from six months old and up with their moms imprisoned there — in cells, 22 hours a day, prison uniforms, behind razor wire walls — for profit by a private prison company called Correctional Corporation of America (CCA)."

This is a holding facility for some of the hordes of illegal immigrants from Mexico who are flowing across the U.S.-Mexico border at the rate of about 1 million a year–presumably accompanied by lots of Iranians bent on mischief. The ACLU (who else?) got into the act Friday, telling the Austin daily they will investigate alleged violations of human rights at the facility. The heinous "for profit," bit apparently scars the souls of socialists everywhere, but is increasingly common in the USA as a means of keeping taxes low. Not that I believe that the Iranians or anyone else are more humane, you understand. Quite the contrary.
