In a corporate run world, she would have been stuck into a forced labor camp and their relatives would have to pay money for information requests and visiting rights (q.v. privately owned US prisons). Doesn't sound much better to me.

Don't boil it down to "big gouvernment". Boil it down to "intransparent powerstructures". Those are to be feared and fought no matter if public or private.

I thought that in a corporate-run world, she would have gotten a job in a restaurant or something...

In Obama's gov't, she was deported, so...your point?

Obama personally pushed her into a boat headed for Columbia. What a dick.


But yes, the problem with Government is that it is comprised mostly of people. Entirely in fact, and if you've ever met you're fair share of people you'd know that you do find the occasional moron. So you see, what we really need to do is shrink the government to a point where the chances of a moron being part of the Government or Employed by the Government is as close to 0 as we can get. I've run the numbers, and I suggest a Government consisting of exactly 0. In our simulations with a Government of 1 there was a small chance of 100% of the Government consisting entirely of morons, and that just is not an acceptible risk. Of course, without a Government all those little things they do for us, like idk, roads, would have to be provided by corporations in the private sector but its a small price to pay to know that truly our lives will never be compromised by morons again.



wait a minute, what are corporations made of again? My god....

This is an outrage! I can't believe we accidentally deported this poor girl! Why haven't we heard about this by now?!?! What?...shes black? Well that explains why it's not an all out search by every news channel scouring the globe.

Jakadrien Turner mother: Texas teen wrongfully deported to Colombia back in US

DALLAS (AP) -- A Texas teenager who was deported to Colombia after claiming to be an illegal immigrant was back in the United States on Friday and at the center of an international mystery over how a minor could be sent to a country where she is not a citizen.
The 15-year-old's family has questioned why U.S. officials didn't do more to verify her identity and say she is not fluent in Spanish and had no ties to Colombia. While many facts of the case involving Jakadrien Lorece Turner remain unclear, U.S. and Colombian officials have pointed fingers over who is responsible.
Immigration experts say that while cases of mistaken identity are rare, people can slip through the cracks, especially if they don't have legal help or family members working on their behalf. But they say U.S. immigration authorities had the responsibility to determine if a person is a citizen.
