IDK, looks like a jail to me...

WESH2 News - President Donald Trump arrived in South Florida Tuesday morning to visit the state's new immigration detention center in the Everglades. The site, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," will officially open Tuesday, showcasing what critics are condemning as an inhumane makeshift prison camp and what supporters are embracing as a national model for aggressively ramping up detention and deportation efforts.
Florida officials have raced to erect the compound of heavy-duty tents, trailers and temporary buildings in a matter of days, as part of the state’s muscular efforts to help carry out Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The facility is located at an isolated airfield about 45 miles west of downtown Miami and is surrounded by swamps filled with mosquitoes, pythons and alligators.
 
 Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, supporters say the reference to the notorious federal prison and the harshness of the conditions at the facility are meant to be a 'deterrent''.

  1. They are criminals and should be treated as such, not coddled as they have been for the past 60 years.

  2. If it's better than the accommodations they left in the old country, then it's an upgrade. Screw em. And put a fence around it because alligators, snakes and other wildlife are probably tamer than the wildlife from whence they came.

  3. With the exception of the chain link fencing and the air-conditioning, it reminds me of the barracks that I lived in back in the early 1960's. The drill instructors in basic training treated us enlisted swine worse than any prison guard would be allowed.

  5. Funny how the enviro-weinies threw a hissy fit over the ecological impact this place would have as a detention facility. Somehow they didn't have any issues with it being an airport.
