A Democratic congresswoman has given a scathing review of the Trump administration’s so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida, describing it as an “internment camp” that needs to be “shut the hell down.”

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represents Florida's 25th congressional district, said that pictures of the facility “don’t do it justice” and that detainees were being “packed into cages.”

On Saturday Florida lawmakers from both parties took a state-arranged tour of the new 3,000-bed detention center that the state rapidly built on an isolated airstrip surrounded by swampland in the Everglades.

they are just SO terrified of calling it what it is, a concentration camp. They are "concentrating" specific people into their camp. Call it what it is. it's a Concentration Camp.

I'm SO looking forward to what the Dems decide to call it when they inevitably set up little "chambers" there and people suddenly start "disappearing".

No need for chambers. I'm certain they're just waiting for a major hurricane later this year.

STOP CALLING IT ALCATRAZ.

Alcatraz was for criminals who were found guilty in a trial.

This is AUSCHWITZ

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, every time I hear potential terrible plans on social media, it seems like they take it as a guide.

"Now that we're here, what should we do?" "Gee, I don't know Tom. Let's see what the liberals on Reddit are crying about and do that."

OMG! You liberals are just grasping at straws now. This is not an internment camp, or a concentration camp. This is a freedom camp! Some call it a "Happy Camp®". It will be where these illegals can work their way to freedom. I hear DHS is going to put a nice slogan over the gate to avoid confusion, something like "Work Will Set You Free". If that doesn't work out, I am pretty sure the Trump administration with come up with a better solution. Some might say, a final solution!

Bumfuck Buchenwald works and has the alliteration factor. Whatever the moniker, it never should've been established in the first place.

Alligator Auschwitz sounds good.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
