Halliburton Awarded Contract To Build Detention Camps in the US | Democrats.com: "the federal government had awarded a $385 million contract for the construction of 'temporary detention facilities.' These would be used, the story said, in the event of an 'immigration emergency.'
Jamie Zuieback, an official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), explained such an emergency like this: 'If, for example, there were some sort of upheaval in another country that would cause mass migration, that's the type of situation that the contract would address.'
That sounds a tad fuzzy, but let's concede that the camps do have something to do with immigration, illegal or not. In fact, there already are thousands of beds in place at various U.S. locations for the purpose of housing illegal immigrants.
But for anyone familiar with history U.S. or European the construction of detention camps for whatever purpose should prompt a chilling scenario.
Same folks
The new detention camps will be built by Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), a subsidiary of Halliburton. The latter, as you likely know, is the defense-related corporate giant with fists full of contracts involving the war in Iraq."
