Hey, just thinking out loud here

[angrychair]

Why is DHS spending $40+ BILLION DOLLARS on giant detention facilities from coast to coast if the plan is to deport people? Who, exactly, are they for?

1. The money all gets funneled to private contractors

Aka their donors.

5. Yes IF they fill the beds. Who's going to be in those beds?

10. There is so much waste in procurement

You don’t have to fill a space in order to spend huge money on a facility and stocking it with equipment, food, and employees sitting around doing nothing.

See “Alligator Alcatraz” and the no-bid contracts.

2. It takes time to get permission from third party countries to accept deportees

So that provides the opportunity for some profiteering by the prison-industrial complex, combined with recreational cruelty.

4. Long enough to hold enough immigrants

for $40 billion worth of construction?

[wnylib]

3. Yeah, I've been thinking about that; too.

Herr Drumpf has future plans for his opponents.

First they came for the socialists,but but I was not a socialist ...etc.

American version - First, they came for the immigrants....

6. Us!

People who dissent , LGBT, people who belong to unions.
Check Hitler's list.

7. I've got my own little list...

They simply won’t be missed…

(Just a little Gilbert and Sullivan humor, Agent Mike…. )

8. Just wait until you hear the words "These illegal protests".

They're just looking down the road at civil unrest. All dictators have to deal with it at some point.

9. Looks like someone found out that at least some of the permit applications include 'incinerators' for bio-waste.

I'm speculating that plumbing permit applications for 'showers' can't be too far off.
