From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."

As a former public school teacher I am reminded as to why I am resistant to business sticking it's nose into public policy. While I was teaching in the 80's, local businesses decided that they wanted to "Donate" to our public schools. This translated into business dictating what was being taught. Tweeking curriculum so that student learning suited the needs of the local corporations rather than individual student needs.
Business is self serving having no regard for human and responsible immigration reform or any other public policy and should therefore be excluded from any and all debates.
If I could have voted NO to both of the above options I would have. The word "private" should not even be in the same sentence with "prisons." There should be no such thing as private prisons.
