Unreal: NBC Reporter Whines That Illegals at Alligator Alcatraz Might Get Injured If They Try to Escape

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.

These people do know don’t they that alligators roam pretty much all over Florida? Anywhere you have water you may find alligators.

I think they should be more concern with the pythons since they could find their wan into compound.

[Salman]

Is this "Alcatraz" a place where the inmates are permanently locked up? You know, like Alcatraz was.

Or just temporary holding until deportation is arranged?

I was thinking the latter, but the way it's being reported make me consider I could be wrong.

[marron]

I think the point of putting it out there is to make it more difficult for demonstrators.

[frank ballenger]

Each level of the illegal alien criminal escaping to avoid deportation was a choice.

Commit a crime.
Illegally enter the US.
Escape from custody.

Don’t blame the alligators or snakes.

GIVE HER THE AWARD FOR “SNOWFLAKE OF THE CENTURY”

[Political Junkie Too]

Huh? It violates their constitutional right to escape?

Maybe they should unlock the cell doors to prevent inmates from breaking a nail trying to force it open, too!

The judge will issue an injunction against the gators forbidding them from eating escaped criminals.

When the idiots on the left say such nonsense I laugh. However, after giving it some thought I have great empathy for people who can be SO FREAKING STUPID! I cannot feel anything except sorrow that such stupidity actually lives on this Earth.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Lets see how well it works. Remember—to Democrats all illegals are confirmed Democrat Voters. I just feel sorry for the Gators, The people who flee too the swamps might be a bit spicy for them.

Hence the name “Alligator Alcatraz,” dumbass.
