RUSH: Sunday\u2019s Washington Post ran a big, blaring headline: \u201cThousands of ICE Detainees Claim They Were Forced into Labor, a Violation of Anti-Slavery Laws.”  Now, wow, that sounds really bad. I bet right now you\u2019re asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s this all about, El Rushbo?\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, the first thing you need to know, folks, is this supposed \u201cforced labor\u201d happened during the Obama administration. A 2014 lawsuit is getting attention now because a federal judge just granted the defendants class-action status. When this suit just began it was nine defendants, lawyers were suing for $5 million. But with class action status, \u201cdamages\u201d for up to 60-thousand illegal immigrants could \u201cgrow substantially,\u201d says The Post. In other words, their lawyers could hit the jackpot if they prevail.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what else you need to know. The lawsuit is against a private prison run by an evil corporation. This is the first lawsuit of its kind to get this far. Liberals are excited because they hate private prisons with a passion.<\/p>\n

\"\"Now. The most important fact. The illegal immigrants were never slaves. They were volunteers. They chose to work for the pay they received. It\u2019s a normal arrangement in jails, prisons, and detention facilities. Legal precedent allows prisons to offer inmates reduced wages like this, especially since they\u2019re not paying for their own upkeep.<\/p>\n

But the people behind the lawsuit are leftists. They\u2019re trying to bankrupt the system, they\u2019re trying to enrich themselves, and mostly they\u2019re trying to grandstand, just for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
