I’d provide them with an outdoor theater where they could watch gay porn videos at night. With no women around why not?

Alcatraz with an airstrip.

Does it have an ILS, and daily flights to Mogadishu, N’Djamena and Djibouti?

[Malsua]

The only problem with this place is there’s a road nearby that you could follow west to Naples or East to Miami.

Some parts off the road are walkable. It wouldn’t be fun and you’d better have packed some water, but it’s not Alcatraz level of escape proof.

I think the heat and bugs would be a nice welcome for those turd worlders who shouldn’t be here.

And hopefully soon, direct flights to San Salvador!

[Huskrrrr]

Chomp chomp.

Is this where that airplane loaded with passengers crashed into the muck? Is this why they stopped using this airport?

[quantim]

Wonder what the betting odds are for the first victim that escapes, will it be an alligator, or a python that does the stalking? Personally I’d like to see a panther stalk the illegal for a couple days until he ran back to the makeshift prison for safety before deportation. LOL

…oh STFU you old bag!!

[Bonemaker]

Inland Devil’s Island.😀

IMHO, that place can hold at least 20,000...

To help increase the “self-deportation” numbers, two or three inviting sandy beaches can be created for the inmates’ use...

[toddausauras]

Having an alligator in each cell is a step too far. /s

[Repeal The 17th]

No.

Saw Tony White perform that on the John Byner show way back in the 1970s (I think it was on the John Byner show)

My goodness - John Byner is now 86

This doesn't sound too nice.

But American troops have lived in much worse conditions while serving the nation.

Other than making detainees uncomfortable, I don't see anything wrong with tent accommodations.

I'm sure there will be medical facilities available as there should be.

ANOTHER THREAD SAID 5,000 detainees.
