Hypocrite Wasserman Schultz Bashes Opponents on Immigration AGAIN!
CNN Interview with Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Last week, Debbie Wasserman Schultz was on CNN bashing her political opponents for having harsh positions on immigration. It's almost beyond all belief that she bashes her opponents on one hand and then takes money from CCA with the other for endorsing the building of an immigrant prison IN HER DISTRICT which will be used to break up families, incarcerate CHILDREN, and make a healthy profit for Prison Inc.

Transcript:
SCHULTZ: Well, my thoughts are that Mitt Romney did his level best to continue to pull the field of Republican candidates as far to the right and the extreme right as possible, whether it was on immigration... where he said that, even families whose have been here for 25 years, as Newt Gingrich talked about, he would tear those apart. He would take people who essentially have broken no laws and been working and paying taxes -- you know, no path to a future here in America for those undocumented immigrants, and on every other issue.Is Debbie Wasserman Schultz schizophrenic? Honestly? Yes, Debbie, to paraphrase the sentiment of your quote in this interview, we think you've earned the attention of your district Fl-20 for jamming an immigrant prison down our throats while hypocritically trying to bash your opponents on immigration. You are worse than them all. None of them endorsed a deportation center like you and Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) have.

Pay to Play the Human Way
Over the past few months, we've crossed paths with a number of people who have been highly sensitive to certain avenues that have unfolded before us as we've published facts related to this ICE / CCA immigrant prison in Southwest Ranches.
Of the earliest and most visceral responses that we've received are those that believe that Debbie Wasserman Schultz should be given a free pass over her endorsement of this project. The reason that Congresswoman Schultz and DNC chair is not given a free pass is because we believe that her letter of endorsement along with Senator Bill Nelson's letter of endorsement were major factors in ICE's decision to situate the prison in Southwest Ranches. We also believe that they are so powerful, they could kill the project in SWR in a heartbeat if they wanted to.
Further, if it were some sort of simple mistake based on receiving false information from backwater small town politicians as her staff including Jodi Davidson and Steve Paikowsky seemed to imply early on, then Debbie would have removed her endorsement. She hasn't. In fact, she's gotten more devious in how she is using the guise of "open" meetings with HOA presidents to try and deflate the opposition to this prison. She and her staff have been relentless in protecting the position that she took endorsing the prison.
Therefore, providing an understanding of why that is and also trying to wake up her constituencies that she's extremely hypocritical when she bashes republicans for wanting to "round them up and deport them all" when SHE is endorsing the VERY MEANS to do that with her immigrant prison in Southwest Ranches.
We have demonstrated that merely a few weeks after giving CCA her endorsement, she accepted money from CCA in such closely timed proximity that it had to be for providing her endorsement of the project in SWR.
As this unfolds, we find a set of industries which profit off our massive immigration problem and dysfunctional immigration system. The top line of it is the private corporations who are making billions of dollars incarcerating illegal aliens awaiting decisions on deportation or making a fortune using migrant labor that can be crushed and discarded like a used Styrofoam coffee cup when no longer needed. We find that one of South Florida's elite, Sam Poole III who was formerly a Broward County official has been one of the continuous threads of this story.
The other day, our investigations uncovered a link between the sugar barons who own Florida Crystals up near South Bay, abuse of immigrant labor AND Sam Poole III. Bitter Sugar and Immigrant Abuse Pointing this out caused outrage. However, those people who support DWS with their contributions must be understood because they are buying access which is being used against us. We are getting a prison in our back yards because of this corruption and the duplicity of the Congresswoman.
Reviewing the FEC campaign contribution database, we find these interesting donations made to Debbie Wasserman Schultz:
The Fanjul's (owners of Florida Crystals) donated a MINIMUM of $10,000 to DWS this cycle. It could be more because more donations could come in through other family names that we don't know, yet are still part of the Fanjul clan.
This is highly disturbing. We urge you to look at the link to the Broward New Times article on the Fanjul's to see just what type of people Debbie Wasserman Schultz is accepting donations from AND who have a relationship to Sam Poole III. New Times' Bitter Sugar Article
While we're at it, let's take a look at donations from Sam Poole III's employer, Berger Singerman, to Debbie Wasserman Schultz's campaign:
That's another $3250 from Berger Singerman.
While we're at it, let's put up donations from favorite law firm, Becker Poliakoff. Are they funding Debbie's campaign? You bet:
She's taking money from two of Sam Poole III's clients, Big Sugar and Prison, Inc., both of which profit off illegal immigration and have a history of abusing immigrants under their care. She's taking money from the law firm who's employee has represented both Florida Crystals AND CCA. Of course, she's taking money from the internal SWR Lobbyist, Keith Poliakoff's firm. All these threads are woven into a tapestry of big corporations buying access to politicians. These politicians benefit from the exploitation of immigrants yet hypocritically bash their opponents for "wanting to lock them up and deport them." The residents of west Broward are getting an unwanted immigrant prison in the deal.
The pursuit of truth is virtuous, so the investigation continues. We will continue to bring more clarity to the issue.

DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ--$1000 PER WRITTEN ENDORSEMENT
Now it becomes clear as to why Debbie Wasserman Schultz is so adament in her support of CCA and their building of an immigrant prison in Southwest Ranches. On April 8, 2011, she and Senator Bill Nelson signed a letter of endorsement for this facility. Merely 3 weeks later, Debbie Wasserman Schultz collected her fee of $1000 from CCA. That's almost quicker than how long it takes for you to get money back from ebay for a successful sale! Who questions the efficiency of the private sector, anyway? They can buy politicians faster than you can say Frank Nurt!
Ironically, this comes just a few months after Debbie lambasted the Republicans and Jim Sensenbrenner for wanting to "lock them up and deport them all" when discussing immigration. Then, Debbie goes on to ENDORSE the biggest immigrant prison in the country and defends Prison Inc to the very end. This is in light of overwhelming opposition to the prison and a disgusting paper trail of public officials hiding and covering up the sordid mess. Also, this is in the face of overwhelming examples of grotesque civil rights abuses of prisoners in CCA's custody.
We guess Sensenbrenner and the Republicans could have had THEIR ideas endorsed by the Congresswoman and her staff if they just gave Debbie $1000 too.

| Note who actually contributes to the PAC. Some of our favorite players like the former CCA Lobbyist and now hired mucky muck, Lucibeth Mayberry contribute. Also, notice that Debbie is in GREAT company as one of only 3 Democrats on the list. Most of them are just backwater political hacks. So, Debbie has really gotten fleas by getting into bed with this crew. It is who she is, though. Her actions belie her words. Here's a list of CCA's PAC contributions.
In conclusion, on April 8th, Debbie signs a letter of endorsement. On April 29th, CCA gives her $1K. Coincidence? You decide. Debbie STILL steadfastly refuses to withdraw her support and adamantly stands behind her endorsement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

What Kind of Man is CCA's Sam Poole?
In a prior article, we linked to Berger Singerman's bio page on Sam Poole where he's presented as a concerned environmentalist. What he seems to be is a former Broward County bureaucrat who's now found a way to use his former public influence to represent some of the most despicable companies who profit off the hurt, destruction and exploitation of those around them. He's represented Corrections Corporation of America, LLC for years in their attempt to get a stronghold in Southwest Ranches AND take over the town government.
http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2004-08-26/news/bitter-sugar/5/
Sam Poole has an even more twisted clientele than most. He seems to make his money off companies that PROFIT off the exploitation of poor immigrants. CCA is the largest private prison corporation in America and is estimated to provide nearly 20% of the beds for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) countrywide. CCA and the Town of Southwest Ranches want to put the BIGGEST immigrant prison in the country right here in bucolic Southwest Ranches. This prison will be run with FEDERAL tax money and will enrich the corporation, their highly compensated white collar staff AND help feed the greedy, rich leaders in Southwest Ranches who think they are so poor they need revenue from a prison.
All this money will be made off a completely dysfunctional immigration system that is beyond harsh to those misfortune individuals caught up in it. Back to Poole.
This is a long article about the Fanjuls who own all the sugar land from here up to Clewiston as well as the coop sugar refinery in South Bay. If you read the article, you will find laid out some of the injustices their immigrant workers have faced.
If you move to page 5 of the article, you will find a name that we now know well. It's that of Sam Poole.
Anybody privy to the behind the scenes manipulations by Debbie Wasserman Schultz in trying to co-opt opposition to the prison can now see that this is all by the playbook and that Poole is expert at this. Who will suffer this time? Just like with the sugar barons, immigrants, residents and the environment suffer.

To persuade Durando, the Fanjuls sent an impressive three-man team -- the trio's prestige further proof of the Fanjuls' ability to enlist high-powered talent in their cause. On her right sat Samuel E. Poole III, a former executive director of the South Florida Water Management District, who recently joined the Fanjuls.
...So, folks fighting this prison, Sam Poole is THE GUY who is used to ameliorate opposition to controversial people and projects MAINLY exploiting immigrants and the environment.
The Fanjul team feared defeat. "Well, why wait?" Poole asked. "This is the public-private partnership we need to use as the right model and duplicate it elsewhere."
...
That's what essentially ended the meeting. The Fanjul folks changed the subject. A promise, especially on paper, was apparently too much to ask. Cantens suggested maybe Durando could set up another meeting, next time bringing other environmentalists. "We'll have it at your place," Poole added.
...
Outside the commission chambers, environmentalist turned Fanjul lawyer Sam Poole stood by himself. He leaned against a wall watching the meeting on a television set. He promised that the Fanjuls would be back. He promised they would win over more environmentalists. "We intend to seek a dialogue on what should happen on this site.
Anybody privy to the behind the scenes manipulations by Debbie Wasserman Schultz in trying to co-opt opposition to the prison can now see that this is all by the playbook and that Poole is expert at this. Who will suffer this time? Just like with the sugar barons, immigrants, residents and the environment suffer.

Sam Poole -- Committed Environmentalist Puts Prison in Everglades
http://www.bergersingerman.com/news/Attorney-Samuel-Poole-Participated-in-the-VisionBROWARD-Community-Leadership-Forum/
In a stunning example of hypocrisy, Sam Poole has been the Broward County front man for Corrections Corporation of America. Sam has actively lobbied and worked with the completely out of touch Southwest Ranches Town council to put yet another prison holding between 1500 and 2200 people on the edge of the Everglades.
This prison will further blight the Everglades and put additional burden on our aquifer. It's a shame that people can present themselves as committed environmentalists yet work against the environment every opportunity they can get.

Hypocrisy of DNC Chair!
Debbie Wasserman Schultz's hypocrisy on immigration is stunning. In this video clip she says the following:
Debbie and Senator Bill Nelson cosigned a letter of endorsement for what could be the largest ICE immigrant prison in the country. The sole purpose of the facility will be to facilitate "pack[ing] them all up and shipping them back to their own countries."
How can she sleep at night knowing she's a major facilitator of shipping them back home and bash her political opponents for the same? It's totally Alice In Wonderland. She's breaking up families, exacerbating the whole immigration problem. But, her political donors are getting theirs, aren't they? To heck with the massive opposition to this prison by her own constituents. To heck with the estimated 18,000 school children living within 5 miles of this prison. To heck with the quality of life for her district. To heck with her stunning hypocrisy. To heck with the immigrants. As long as she can scrape up a few more campaign dollars, that's all she apparently cares about. Pay for Play. That's all. And they all are trying to shove this hideous facility down our throats.
"His position... Democrats position is that we need comprehensive immigration reform, we have 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country that are part of the backbone of our economy and that is not only a reality but a necessity. and that it would be harmful if... you know... Republican solutions that I've seen in the last few years are that we should just pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries an in fact that it should be a crime and we should arrest them all. I mean that was in legislation that Jim Sensenbrenner advanced."

New Associated Press Story!
Some National News Coverage!
http://news.yahoo.com/upscale-fla-town-fight-over-immigrant-prison-172908497.html
http://news.yahoo.com/upscale-fla-town-fight-over-immigrant-prison-172908497.html
Media Release: 11/15/2011
Pembroke Pines, November 16th – Commissioner Iris Siple has put the Fire/EMS Agreement between Pembroke Pines and Southwest Ranches on the City of Pembroke Pines Commission Agenda for the Wednesday November 16th meeting. Residents have been emailing the commissioner’s demanding they rescind this agreement that promises a lot more than just FIRE and EMS Services to the Town of Southwest Ranches. Hidden in the agreement is also assurance that Pembroke Pines has sufficient capacity to provide water and sewer to the Detention Center.
The Detention Center that is starting out as a 1500 bed facility has plans to expand according to email communication between Town Lawyer Keith Poliakoff, Partner at Becker & Poliakoff and CCA Attorney, Sam Poole of Berger Singerman dated January 28th, 2011. “CCA believes it is best to respond to ICE with the 1500 beds. We can advise ICE that we can expand to meet future needs…”
With the Town’s Lawyer being extremely supportive of anything CCA would like to do, who knows what the final capacity will be. When discussing a letter of approval from the Town in order to get the Plat note change on the County Agenda in time, Southwest Ranches Attorney Keith Poliakoff replies to Sam Poole’s email on November 18th, 2010, “My position is, amend the agreement and show me the money and then we can talk.”
