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.
In a letter sent Tuesday, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham notified Trump she had purchased a 1,402-acre ranch along the U.S.-Mexico border, about 35 miles west of McAllen. She also assured him that her office would work with federal agencies to construct a detention center.
This wasn’t just empty land sitting around that Texas already owned, she purchased it specifically to give to trump so he could build a concentration camp. Is she the world’s biggest brown noser trying to get a pat on the head from trump, or is she a deranged fascist who gets off on ruining lives? Maybe both?
Could be both but could also be financial. I’m sure this has the potential to earn her a lot of money. This detention facility could be there for 10+ years as countries reject receiving these people. That on top of the legal battles that will inevitably slow everything down while people are detained. That’s a lot of rent to be collected, on top of all the other exorbitant fees I imagine will be in the contract. All you have to do is be morally bankrupt.
Yup! What’s extra “funny” is that the federal government will probably foot the bill and thus these dirty immigrants will cost the regular Joe exorbitantly more - both in lost contribution to the economy and taxes but also in fees for being detained - than they would have if they would leave them the fuck alone. It better yet give them a realistic path to citizenship.
Right wingers are either fucking dumb as shit or 100% morally depraved. It makes my blood boil to the point that I cannot follow the news. And I ain’t even living in the US. Just pisses me off to no end still how absolutely heartless and fucked people can be.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
Nope. He already made that choice and it’s stupider than that.
