    So ICE denies the claim? Gee, I wonder if Stephen Miller will also?

    Can Stephen explain why I - the American taxpayer - has to pay to feed and house people who were supposed to be deported to their home countries? Can anyone in MAGA?

    Funny, but no reply.

    Only one word will suffice here: Typical.

    Frost said he was told July 12 that the average stay will be two weeks. With the exception of 30 to 40 detainees that arrived that day, the others had been there nearly a week.

    Success is no one wanting to come to the United States anymore for any reason. That should work out well in the long run.

    The illegals have a very simple option in that once they are sent to and processed at Alligator Alcatraz, they are immediately offered a one-way ticket back to where they came from and don’t have to pay a dime.

    Life is all about choices and those who have entered illegally are given a choice. Get a free ride home or live rent free at Alligator Alcatraz while going through “immigration court”.

    ICE is expanding by 400%. What do you think they'll do when all the immigrants are gone? Go home and call it a day? Maybe move the goalposts to include anyone who won't kiss the feet?

    Political Stunting.

    Basically the foundation and first two floors of the House of MAGA.

    And MAGA is "totally" different.

    Good Lord! Did you write that?

    Just another expensive, clustermucking opportunity for Trump, DeSantis, and Noem, media hounds all, to pose for the cameras.

    Looks like the Biden and the Democrats’ open borders era might be over. Louisville, Kentucky joins a growing list of cities and states dropping their sanctuary status. The list now includes Miami-Dade, Fla., Lansing, Michigan, and Eagle, Idaho, also Arkansas, Montana, New Hampshire, Tennessee and West Virginia. Florida, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Nevada and possibly Georgia are moving on state legislation that would ban sanctuary policies statewide.

    They have already said they may use Camp Blanding. Camp Blanding is in Clay County. I am not surprised that most of the people of Clay County have no problem with it. I think the same thing could be said of Bradford County sitting right next door and a place that already have a lot of people working at state prison's.

    Have no idea and it clearly came back to bite him. Seriously, I have no idea what the Ds are thinking when it comes to immigration. Take hammer, hit balls?
