Florida Builds ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Detention Center for Migrants in Everglades

Speaking of "cherry-picking" even though immigrants both legal and illegal are statistically less likely to commit violent crimes than Americans citizens a day doesn't go by without Trump citing a tragic case in which an American very often a young woman has been the victim of a violent crime committed by an undocumented immigrant.

 

Previously mentioned the probability is that residents of a tent city in the Everglades will not fare well during a hurricane.

 

None of "those" people have the proper "cards" as dear leader likes to blabber. They are not the right skin tone, they are not rich, and they can't vote for Maga.... so expendables.

 

The lyrics of Woody Guthrie's 1948 song "Deportee" come to mind. The song is about a plane which crashed transporting deportees back to Mexico who were also considered expendables. An excerpt of Woody's lyrics.
My father's own father, he waded that river,
They took all the money he made in his life;
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees,
And they rode the truck till they took down and died.

Some of us are illegal, and some are not wanted,
Our work contract's out and we have to move on;
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border,
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves.

We died in your hills, we died in your deserts,
We died in your valleys and died on your plains.
We died 'neath your trees and we died in your bushes,
Both sides of the river, we died just the same.

The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills,
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says, "They are just deportees"

Cover by Joan Baez

 

Yuk it up with some merch! How cool is that?

 

The good news is that with the gutting of the NWS, they won’t see it coming

 

Florida will be compensated completely for the cost by the Federal Government, so we are just providing a service to the country. If they now do the same at Camp Blanding the same will apply. All good in my opinion!

 

As I see it all of these people were encouraged to be here, even though it was illegal. Getting rid of them legally is difficult at best, but what most of us voted for. I therefore ignore all of those bleeding hearts that choose to post on here about it. No sympathy from me!
