They want to create their own version of El Salvador’s black hole Prison to be just as cruel as they and Putin are.
It’s about the threat of Power and tossing anyone they choose there for undetermined reasons and amounts of time. They can’t afford the ones currently detained!
I guess not because no more immigrants would mean no more funding. I guess they'll try to stretch it so that it lasts and they can ask more and more funding. If they put everybody in the owen, they'll get just the money for gas bills.
This fight is not winnable. There is no way to secure the borders of the US which span 3000 miles in the South, 3500 miles in the north and 2 costs lines 3000 miles each. This is like the war on drugs, or terrorism. It’s not about putting everybody anywhere.
Sure, but there's always a way to give friends the opportunity to get some profit to build the border fence and shit and get a nice provision for it. That people climb it for fun and sport is a detail of no consequence.
Besides the desire to create The White Christian Nationalist States of America, this has also always been about profiting the private prison industrial complex, all megadonors to MAGA. They cheered when he won because they knew it'd be boom times for them.
Bypassing labor and work safety laws to use underpaid, overworked immigrants to do menial manual labor that spoiled lazy Americans don't want to do. So basically business as usual? We spent 45 billion to simply use immigrants as we always have.
They have only 300 people rounded up. This is a scam. Trump is sending US tax dollars to El Salvadore that will be funnelled back to him. They will round up anyone who "fits a description" to justify this scam
AR AG “It’s time for Congress to act and allow state and federal correctional facilities to utilize cell phone jamming technology. There are countless stories, but the bottom line is this: if you can’t catch every phone, we must make it impossible for inmates to use cell phones behind bars.”
“I applaud Senator Tom Cotton and Congressman David Kustoff for sponsoring H.R. 2350 - the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act of 2025.”-Arkansas AG Tim Griffin
I personally don’t think this is just for illegal immigrants. I think he intends to incarcerate legal immigrants, citizens, politicians, etc. Really anyone he wants to.
Arkansas Governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was pushing the state legislature to fund the building of a $1 billion prison that was located close to a military base in a rural area (lots of privacy).
As somebody who used to hunt on the site of the proposed prison and drives past the ANG base at the Fort Smith Airport twice per day, I think you're overselling it with "close." It's at least 35 minutes away. Horrible site for a prison, BTW.

Or is there no money for profiteering in that?
