Summary

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham offered President-elect Donald Trump a 1,402-acre ranch for deportation facilities.

The ranch, near the Rio Grande, is strategically located and has been previously used for agricultural purposes.

Despite claims of immigrants committing crimes at higher rates, data shows they commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population.

So, some sort of a holding camp? One where they can concentrate a specific type of people defined by political or other genealogical identifiers?

"They're not concentration camps, if we call them internment camps" taps head

Just yesterday I sarcastically referred to the upcoming American concentration camps as "round up ranches." I didn't mean it to be a prophecy

INB4 the concentration camps get a Monsanto marketing tie-in.

Something to prevent them from being too diluted.

Would a homeopathic concentration camp be gigantic but just have one person in it? Maybe a small child?

I wonder if they will eventually gather so many they need to install "showers" to cycle "prisoners" through?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe someone can come up with some sort of brand to help identify and track specific people and their reasons for choosing to be concentrated

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe a yellow star, it would be bright and big and very visible. You could wear it on your sleeve maybe?

Or just tattoo a number on their arm.
