bureau prisons, for example, says 24% of current federal prisoners are noncitizens, but that includes both foreign born legal residents and illegal immigrants. why? well the bureau prisons turns out to be part of the justicet. which until last week, was run by attorney general eric holder who was the president's top political advocate in the administration. and it's unhelpful to share too much information about illegal immigration with the american public. and so they don't. and how about the outsourcing of jobs? surely you would think our commerce department would keep detailed records of jobs created, jobs destroyed or the number of american jobs shipped to cheap overseas labor markets. nope. that wouldn't be helpful to either the administration or the chamber of commerce or the business roundtable. it's unhelpful for the american public to know too much. and now, of course president obama is pushing the transpacific partnership. a us asia trade deal that critics argue would lead to the loss of more jobs and cut wages even further. center jeff sessions in a memo warned such a deal would hurt workers and open the immigration floodgates. as if they're not already flood opened. writing this. the time when
