NBC homeland security correspondent Julia Ainsley expressed concern over potential injuries to detainees attempting to escape Alligator Alcatraz, citing the facility's dangerous environment as a deterrent.
You heard that correctly. She is concerned that criminal illegal aliens who broke into the United States might try to break out of the gator jail and get hurt.
What's that saying about not doing the crime if you can't do the time?
Ainsley, in an appearance with "Morning Joe" on Wednesday, initially lamented that President Trump had brainstormed the idea for Alligator Alcatraz as a joke in his first term. Now it's a reality. When are they going to learn that when Trump says something out loud, he means it?
Ainsley then pointed out concerns that the facility does not have traditional walls. Will the gators and pythons get inside? *Bites fingernails*. Could the detainees suffer some injuries if they try to get out? She is, how you say, quite concerned, as the good folks at NewsBusters point out.
"When (NBC News Senior White House Correspondent) Gabe (Gutierrez) walked through there, that was soft-sided facilities," Ainsley fretted. "So not brick and mortar buildings. It's clearly intentionally being put there really as a symbolic form of deterrence, but possibly a real one too, if there were really injuries to people."
"ICE is not supposed to be punitive. Immigration detention is not supposed to be punitive," she added. "ICE detention is for the purpose of detaining immigrants before they are deported or while their immigration proceedings are still going on."
"But it is not supposed to be like you were sentenced to time in jail, like what you would have done if you had committed a crime and been sent to a Bureau of Prisons facility. And so they're now deviating from that."
So, we're just supposed to be okay with letting these criminals walk? Would the facility be more to your liking, Julia, if it were surrounded by beds of roses? It only becomes 'punitive' when the detainee tries to escape and avoid going through their immigration proceedings.
When reporters aren't concerned about the fate of illegals trying to escape Alligator Alcatraz, they're worried about ... the alligators?
RedState's Sister Toldjah reported yesterday on CNN dragging a "wildlife director" on air to get a case of the sads over what the facility will do to the gators nd pythons.
"When it comes to the wildlife, I'm more concerned for the wildlife than the folks on the site," said Elise Pautler Bennett from the Center for Biological Diversity. "I have actually waded in the wetlands not far from that site myself waist-deep in the water, no problem, wasn't attacked by alligators."
"The idea that these are vicious animals out to attack people is rather absurd."
Yeah, there's an entire Wikipedia page chronicling fatal alligator attacks in the United States. A vast majority of them have taken place in Florida.
Legacy media is super-concerned about the well-being of criminal illegal aliens. They're over the top worried about the well-being of alligators. But they never gave a damn about the Laken Rileys or Jocelyn Nungarays of the world.
The stupid burns, and it should be painful.
Not much gets by these media experts.
Yeah that’s kind of the whole point..maybe we can send some illegal alien criminals to HER house, she can give them the grand tour
They should let a couple “accidentally” escape, take stills along the way with the final photo showing the escapee in the gators jaws up in the air. Place these large stills in the intake area so all can see exactly what they are in for should they attempt to make a break for it. The more graphic the better
General rules in medium and maximum federal joints is if you hit the wire or the wall it’s shoot to kill
In the 90s at Jesup FCI a prisoner climbed first of three fences and got caught up in the two dozen concertina wire rolls and was bleeding bad
The CO in the tower a decent guy named Adams refused to shoot him 60 yards out given the situation
He was suspended 90 days no pay
But he could walk that yard with respect and impunity after that
In a USP in a knife brawl on the yard they fire a warning shot to hit the deck then its center mass
Where’s the media complaining about that
The alligators need to eat something. It’s just the way of nature.
Leftists are no fun at all!
According to them, we can’t drop ‘em out of airplanes and we can’t feed ‘em to the alligators. Whine Whine Whine.
Got a private reply. This one. It's a central location set up for quick turnover.
Doesn’t they realize that was the whole point? Some reporter, huh?
Someone has to feed the Alligators.
Any inmate who tries to escape jail or prison could get hurt, or even shot, dumbass.
Captured mercenaries are prisoners of war.
Uhh, and if you break out of a real prison the guards shoot you in the back.
That is kinda how this works, yah silly TWOT.
Women gonna women ...
Some folks here are worrying a lot about the illegals before anything even happens in “Alligatraz”.
I live in the swamp. I’d be more concerned with snakes.
There’s PLENTY in that area; they just need to get them all around the new “GATOR GITMO” facility.
Toss out Tyson chickens every day around the place. Best in 2 ways.
Reporter whines that illegals at Alligator Alcatraz might Get injured if they try to escape.
Memo to NBC Reporter: That’s the point of it stooge.
