Interesting. I watched this guy get called a war profiteer on CSPAN when he offered to keep Afghanistan secure for just $50 billion/year. This was before Biden's screwup.

Now he's in line for a handout to do something to help us again. While his ideas make a lot of sense I don't think Trump would buy into it. Sounds too racist.

There is a tourist spot where 3 countries meet called Tri-point(Punto Trifinio). Just drop a MOAB there to clear the area for building. Let the 3 countries take turns administering the place. Guatemala/Honduras/ElSalvador.

Isn’t there a closed military base somewhere that would cut 70 or 80% of the cost of this project?

This could be a Ritz-Carlton grade facility and the left will still call it a concentration camp. Bet On It.

We need to violate the Antarctica treaties and just claim a square mile or so of the continent—and then set up a prison there.

This may be an interesting concept but if the off-shore facility belongs to the U.S. government the American judiciary is likely to insist that it meet federal standards which is quite high.

I'm not sure what the savings will be - maybe lower wage scale for guards from the local community.

Why? El Salvador will take as many as we send for $200 mil a year now.

I’ve suggested this before. Secure them to unused railroad tracks. Make them walk cross country. Issue blow horns to ward off the animals.

Didn’t we ship some Uyger deportees to some tropical island? I would ship those that can’t be repatriated to Kahoolawe.

Why do that? We have plenty of space in the United States Minor Outlying Islands (MOIs)...that include former military airfields. We should be restoring them for tri-role operations: Quarantine, military, working prisons, etc.

It’s simple. Give them a copy of the 4th amendment, the one having to do with cruel and unusual punishment. Then don’t let investigators on the site.

Kangaroo Judge Boasberg would have a field day with this one. If we still had the old Panama Canal Zone, this US prison build would be easier. McCain was born there as a US Citizen.
