Deporting cheaper than Alligator Alcatraz

1 min read

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't President Donald Trump run on deporting all illegal migrants "by the thousands?"

If that was his agenda, why are we setting up places like Alligator Alcatraz?

With the money used to open, and keep the migrants here, he could have deported them. That whole thing is a slap in the face of those who migrated here legally. Why spend all that money, time, and energy to keep them here?

I truly believe our government, both sides of the aisle included, doesn't have enough brain power to tie their own shoes, starting with the White House down to the newest member of Congress.

Our tax dollars are being used to keep the illegal immigrants here, giving them free food, education, medical care, etc. while with the other hand he's taking away all of that from the poorest Americans who need it. Everything about that scenario is drastically, and totally wrong.

Here's an idea, keep them all at Mar A Largo on Trump's dime.
