VIDEO AT LINK.....................

Florida's attorney general is proposing a new site in the Everglades to hold immigrants who entered the United States illegally that he's calling "Alligator Alcatraz."

Attorney General James Uthmeier posted video on X Thursday with his pitch for the new holding facility.

Uthmeier said the facility could be built at the Miami-Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport off Tamiami Trail, which he described as "virtually abandoned."

The facility could be operational within 30 to 60 days of construction and house up to 1,000 immigrants who entered the country illegally, Uthmeier said.

"You don't need to invest that much in the perimeter. People get out, there's not that much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons," Uthmeier said in a video posted on X. "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide."

The Department of Homeland Security reposted the video, but it's not clear if the proposal will move forward.

Dry Tortugas! Our “Devil’s Island.”
What’s wrong with the Aleutians? Less tourists there.

It’s in the middle of 30 square miles of alligators, crocodiles, rattlesnakes, water moccasins and the newest addition BURMESE PYTHONS that can get 20+ feet in length and can swallow a human whole...........

And to think that we stationed men up there as part of WWII.

Can we use the Aleutian Islands as a minimum treatment for criminals and illegals?

About one hour flight from Gitmo. Sounds like a plan!

Anyone involved in its construction should demand hazard pay.

The former naval base at Adak will do. The US government can pay the Aleut Corporation to lease the land. Plus, the airports and docks are still operating.
