A little-known immigrant holding facility on the base has a capacity of 120 people, the records say, and it "will have an estimated daily population of 20 people," according to a solicitation for bids issued Friday by the Department of Homeland Security.

"The service provider shall be responsible to maintain on site the necessary equipment to erect temporary housing facilities for populations that exceed 120 and up to 400 migrants in a surge event," the contract solicitation says.

"We could deport them to Haiti, but the Biden people think they can do a long weekend in Gitmo, allow the news cycle to cycle, and bring them back into the U.S."

Gitmo as a staging area for Haitians, outstanding.

Avoid the bridge in TX & all the news drones. Excellent. No more Haitians, just like they said (at least ones you can see).
