(HAL) By Katherine Hunt SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- KBR, the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton Co. (HAL) , said Tuesday it has been awarded a contingency contract from the Department of Homeland Security to supports its Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in the event of an emergency. The maximum total value of the contract is $385 million and consists of a 1-year base period with four 1-year options. KBR held the previous ICE contract from 2000 through 2005. The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs, KBR said. The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company said.

Sounds like somebody at the White House is listening ... this works out to about $35 per known illegal in this country.

Please note that the previous contract, 2000 - 2005, began under Clinton. There was probably a five year contract before that that also.

I'm only concerned about the words 'detention' and 'processing facillities.' - That denotes letting the illegal alien invasion, Mexican army, and possible terorrists to boot, come across the border, instead of being stopped and turned back, or shot, when they try to scale two very tall concertina-wired fences, and made it across a heavily surviellanced and mined no-mans land.

"provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs, KBR said"

Interesting news. I would hope you build those facilities on the Bases we intend to close or use the buildings already there.

It would kinda suck to spend money on projects when we have area and facilities that could support those operations. Also, I would hope they don't use any ED action to develop those operations.

My son told me that the Democrats in his Marine unit in Iraq called KBR "Keep Bush Rich".

Haliburton may be getting $385 million, but they are not going to be building detention camps for illegal aliens. That is an outright lie. The official Bush policy, whether it gets put into law or not, is that they be given amnesty and mainstreamed into the economy. See this article.

http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_29/b3943001_mz001.htm

And they are not just doing the "jobs that Americans will not do", another lie, because you don't buy a house from picking lettuce money.
