No d’uh. It’s interesting because it’s a more scholarly take, coming from a (notoriously right-wing) “libertarian” think tank.

When you combine the likely cost of mass deportation with the lost fiscal benefits from recent illegal immigrants, reversing the “Biden Border Crisis” will end up imposing almost $6 trillion in costs on U.S. taxpayers.

    Guess I shouldn’t be surprised about private prisons having stock, but I am. Private prisons were bad enough, but stock? How in the hell could you even try to make more money while having a straight face? They literally have no incentive to keep people out of those prisons or to have good conditions.
