Think of the money we can make! Must be the driving force.

I can't even remember which country it was - maybe Indonesia? I've lived a lot of places - but I remember a similar idea for a crocodile prison and all us expats were like 'that's crazy'. Look at us now.

Pause for a second to consider the howls of MAGA outrage if a white Christian missionary who overstayed their visa in France was shipped without any due process to a prison in Libya. The US will now be doing that sort of thing at scale for the foreseeable future.

What’s to stop them from doing that to US citizens, just to get even? They might find some thing similar to French Guiana where Papillon was sent.

This is so vile and horrific.
A complete moral and ethical failure by the majority of the Supreme Court.
If human rights are not central to what our SCOTUS does, what are they even doing?

Concentration camps, they need to be called concentration camps

It's just cartoonishly evil shit. I do think that Trump provides a sort of sadistic shield that the party can not sustain over the long term, but SCOTUS is doing everything it can to grease the skids.

Floridians have fought off other plans for development there. Expect to see the same groups fighting this proposal.

They want to get some of it up and running by July. Aside from the extreme heat and humidity the migrants will face during the summer, it is not unreasonable to be concerned that the tents might be ripped apart by a hurricane by fall with a human disaster ensuing.

Omg the "moats with alligators and snakes"was the plan all along, eh?

America used to be known for wide open, public lands, National Parks, individual freedoms, opportunity, and decency (for the most part) Now, it will be known for bounty-hunters, crypto, fascism, SpaceX blowing up, and mega-prisons. Are we great yet?
