Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has offered President-elect Donald Trump the use of a 1,402-acre ranch in Starr County, on the U.S.-Mexico border, for the construction of deportation facilities.

Buckingham, a Republican, made the offer in a letter sent to Trump on Tuesday in which she pledged to support what she described as “the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”

      Imagine if corporate Democrats ever get back in power. They’ll rename them “Relocation Centers”, put rainbow flags on them and put a woman in charge.

        Deportation requires the home country of the alien to accept them back with some cooperation. Most of these countries are not going to be cooperative with Trump Admin trying to foist a few extra million people back to them and will likely refuse. Trump’s gonna have to put them somewhere. Aaaand shit we’re right back to Auschwitz

          To follow with “it’s getting too expensive to house these violent criminals so we’re just going to execute them”

          Shortly after that, “bullets are too costly so we’re trying out some new techniques”

    Ahh yes. Those little five year old girls clinging nervously to their plushies as they are separated from their parents and shut in cages are such violent criminals, aren’t they.

    I’ll say again. If you’re undocumented leave now. Your income potential in a detention center is zero and if you show the country how valuable you are maybe something can be done to stop his almost inevitable ascension to the throne he built for himself.

      Exactly, the government’s probably not getting that for free. There’s money to be made in suffering.
