And that is exactly what happened. Nearly one in ten Texans can’t pay: students, single mothers, working families, essentially low and even middle income Texans whose income can’t keep up with gas, insurance, taxes and tickets too.

El Paso Warrants: 59,429 people with 140,244 warrants as of 05/11/07

You don't believe that we get all of our army helmets, household appliances and license plates from China, do you? Heck, even telemarketing corporations maintain numerous call centers inside prisons. What do the prisoners earn for their work? Probably 25 cents an hour. Anyone think that there might be another motive for imprisoning so many people?
