  Jails are to function as a place to house people that break the law regardless if they generate "public revenue" or not. Just as people who ignore immigration law are criminals regardless if they "work hard" or not. Arrest illegal aliens in Wyatt holding jobs in the labor sector, and employers will be forced to replace them with American or legal immigrant workers. The mass job openings will cause people who pay taxes to move to Wyatt seeking employment and in turn the town will see a slow steady rise in it's revenue.

  Glad to see someone highlighting this story locally.

  Back in the days before McCarthyism when taxpayer money was used to enrich an elite class we called it fascism.

  Now we call it Homeland Security or Criminal Justice.

  The greatest irony of all is that many of the immigrants (who have helped salvage Providence from the real pit of despair) are here because the U.S. military propped up despots in their home countries.

  Shame on us.

  Feeding the emperor's fiddling while Rome burns.

  How many lives ruined, how many taxpayer dollars wasted, while we repeat the tragedy of the commons again and again - privatize profit, subsidize risk.

  There should be an investigation into the deaths there, and likely criminal charges filed.
