J. Amos Caley on the DREAMS NOT DETENTION Bus Tour & Vigils To End Immig...





#‎Video‬ of J Amos Caley of the Reformed Church of Highland Park ‪#‎HighlandPark‬ speaking at the ‪#‎ElizabethDetentionCenter‬ in Elizabeth, New Jersey ‪#‎Elizabeth‬ ‪#‎NewJersey‬ ‪#‎NJ‬ as part of the DREAMS Not Detention Bus Tour & Vigils Campaign To End ‪#‎ImmigrantDetention‬ (10-8-12) on ‪#‎visitation‬ & being a ‪#‎visitor‬ at Delaney Hall & the Elizabeth Detention Center - Department of Homeland Security; the pre-dawn ‪#‎raids‬ of ‪#‎Indonesians‬ in the mid-aughts & the breakup of ‪#‎families‬, the ruining of ‪#‎marriages‬, & the devastation wrought in individuals' lives from their subsequent ‪#‎immigrationdetention‬ & ‪#‎deportation‬; the audacity & intransigence of the ‪#‎ICE‬ officials who hold the lives of ‪#‎immigrantdetainees‬ in their hands as well as the ‪#‎abuseofpower‬ which ‪#‎mandatorydetention‬ & ‪#‎privateprisons‬
have encouraged to thrive; the callous lack of response from elected
officials & especially the Barack Obama administration (which has
continually broken records for detention & deportation), the broken
promises, the lies & deception, and the irrationality of expanding
detention when ‪#‎AlternativesToDetention‬ or ‪#‎ATDs‬ will cost the taxpayer a fraction of the investment in ‪#‎prisons‬ & ‪#‎jails‬ which the ‪#‎government‬ has made (at the same time as they pretend to be trying to balance the ‪#‎budget‬) - all summed up brilliantly by this young man who has dedicated so much time & energy to the fight for ‪#‎immigrantrights‬ & the ‪#‎dueprocess‬ ‪#‎rights‬ of the ‪#‎Constitution‬ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc1dGKmM_EY
