It baffles me why lawMAKERS dont create resolution.

Pretty much anyone (sane) in a border state would agree with you... close the borders first to stop the incentive to come here, THEN make the necessary reforms for future legal manageable immigration... including weeding out and deporting the snakes that slithered in. It's not rocket science.
Our porous borders are not just an invitation for individuals or even families, but for the worst dregs of society to exploit and even enslave desperate and helpless people. It's irresponsible and basically aids and abets human traffickers.
And of course, then there's the war on (people who use) drugs and the black market it's created along with its attendant violence.
It just goes on and on.

Body cams for all!
I’m sorry but I’ve had experience in the psych industry, I know quite a few COs from adult to juvenile facilities, and the strict code of conduct and documentation they perform on a daily basis is a job in itself, and no one wants to risk their pension usually.

Okay... And? So???
You cannot possibly be suggesting that -- based solely on your personal knowledge and experience -- that there is no abuse of any kind at any detention center... nor could you possibly be suggesting that there are no abusive COs anywhere at any time... And you must also realize that there are sick puppies who can and will do despicable and horrible things to others human beings...
And if you read the OP and any of the linked articles, then you also know that documentation and oversight are minimal at best at these facilities, so the strict code of documentation you are familiar with does not apply in this situation. You are also assuming that their definition of abuse is the same as ours, and would be subject to penalty... but if the critters at the top are telling you it's okay, for example, to inject kids with psychoactive drugs without their consent or their parents' consent, then there's no fear of any consequences for their actions -- documented or not.
I will also have to say that this presumption of innocence on the part of the accused and the presumption of guilt on the part of the victim is probably the absolute best way for these sick puppies to continue to commit their sick deeds.
I am not suggesting there is no abuse of any kind, hence my suggestion for body cams or cameras at the very least.
When people falsely accuse expect to be treated like a pariah.

Oh Kharron... as I read your comment, suddenly G4S came to mind and I felt like I was punched in the gut. So I searched the two terms together and sure enough, it's complicated, but both G4S and GEO Group originated under the Wackenhut Corporation. G4S is the security company that the Orlando Pulse Nightclub killer worked for, and there was lots of funny stuff going on with them. There have been a couple ATS threads the past few years about the funny stuff they've been involved in. I'll need to check this out way more in depth, but here's the Wiki pages for them both:
G4S Secure Solutions
GEO Group
I think you're right about the plan. Let's hope enough there's enough sunlight shining now to stop it.

Fantastic OP.

Deport people here illegally. Create a solid work VISA that actually provides for the labor needs of seasonal work. Improve other guest programs to give aid in high employment regions where labor is scarce and stifling growth.
Do SOMETHING besides jump and scream. 190 votes....use them for something.
