Concentration camp. Please don't glamorize the literal fall of our nation.

The real reason it's in a Florida swamp is so they can skip the crematoria and just use the alligators to dispose of the bodies.

Eventually that wont be "efficient enough" there's only so many gators and not enough to handle the number of people they intend to murder. There's already talk about them just dumping people in the ocean from military planes. I haven't dug into those reports enough to verify its already happened but something like that is coming if something isn't done to stop it.

Absolutely. They fully intend for the next hurricane floodwall to come and sweep away these people.

Watch who's getting the contracts and who they're bribing. That's the grift, the cruelty is just a garnish for them.

Unmask the contractors and their employees. Publicly shame them.

Canadian allies, we need your help here.

Help us boycott and sabotage these capitalistic grifters.

The Canadian virtue signaling recently has been absolutely unbearable. This is a sign that the true enemies have been corporations and capitalism all along. Enough with buying into the arbitrary borders.

Gotta pump up those numbers. Make it too expensive to operate through sabotage or other means

That fencing is pure adamantium so it costs, um, hundreds of millions of dollars.

Imagine if the Nazis built Auschwitz and the most complaints about it was that they did not torture people efficiently enough.

What a dark world we live in.

Honestly if I didn't live literally across the nation I'd maybe consider it.

The geographic spread of the US makes things like this difficult. It makes organized revolt difficult too. But hopefully not impossible.

I feel that. I'm also nowhere near Florida, and don't have the spare cash for an airplane ticket right now. I'm making $19/hr and I can't even afford groceries.

Now we know where all our medical money is going. To torture people with color in their skin.

Complaints from those held there include lack of air conditioning...it was 96 in the shade today in south Florida, huge mosquitos...people from the North don't understand how big mosquitoes can get in the swamp, plus it's been raining so add in 100% humidity on top of everything else.

It's a terrible place to be held

Minnesota knows how big mosquitoes can get. However, that doesn’t lesson the impact of your statement.
