Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham pledged to support "the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history."

Summary

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham offered President-elect Donald Trump a 1,402-acre ranch for deportation facilities.

The ranch, near the Rio Grande, is strategically located and has been previously used for agricultural purposes.

Despite claims of immigrants committing crimes at higher rates, data shows they commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population.

    Texas Offering LAND to someone who wants to DEPORT people has NOTHING to do with building Concentration Camps!

      I’ve read the whole thing from top to bottom and “concentration camps” was mention a whopping zero times.

      You either read headlines and assume things or just plainly don’t know how to read.

        And Hitler didn’t say the worlds either “genocide” or “holocaust” one single time!

        Which is why we all know the Holocaust was definitely a lie and the Nazis never committed any genocide, am I right?

        Parent said it has NOTHING to do with building concentration camps. So it would be odd to expect that word in the article. Or did you realize they were being sarcastic? Then I guess you just didn’t like the joke and responded with being pedantic to distract from the point.

          Republicans have zero empathy, therefore zero humor or sarcasm function. It’s usually beaten out of them by their father or mother.

          Oh I get it, parent is bringing up a point unrelated to the article so we can discuss that instead of the issue of mass deportations! I don’t do sarcasm I guess.

            Where do you think millions of people will be held while awaiting deportation?

            Where do they deport someone to who does not have citizenship somewhere else? Right, you don’t. You keep them in camps.

            Read a history book. Like no seriously.

        It takes a first grade reading level to draw the correlation between illegal prisons camps and concentration camps. Everyone else got there but you. Read a history book.

        And I suppose when chimney stacks start being built its just to keep everyone warm?

        When you gather a large population of individuals with the intention to deport them you need a host countrys willingness to except a influx of individuals. This may be a tricky and long bureaucratic process.

        This means people could be sitting in these walled “camps” for a very long time, with no ability to freely leave. There will more then likely be full families in these camps, which then over time can turn into slums or ghettos.

        Alternatively you could just invade the neighbouring country and ship them all there.
