What's Changed

This Thursday, SB-1070, Arizona’s radical new immigration law, will go into effect. Yet a new investigation by local Arizona TV news station CBS 5 finds “two of [Governor] Brewer’s top advisers have connections” to private prison giant Corrections Corporation of America. The corporation currently “holds the federal contract to house detainees in Arizona.” CBS 5 notes that the company currently bills $11 million a month to the state of Arizona and that, if SB-1070 is successfully implemented, its profits would be significantly padded as it would take responsibility for imprisoning immigrants arrested by Arizona police.

For anybody wondering what's changed since Bush was president that would prompt the Republicans in Arizona to pass such a law now, we would remind that a Democrat is now president and Brewer was just appointed governor last year. And nothing really other than that.
