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.

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.
