Ron DeSantis Wasted $250 Million on Alligator Alcatraz as It Faces Closure

[Seymour Flops]

‘The state of Florida is committed to $245 million toward the construction of "Alligator Alcatraz," the Everglades immigration detention facility which is due to close in days. An email obtained by The Associated Press Wednesday from Kevin Guthrie, head of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, indicates the facility will likely soon be empty, after a federal judge ruled it must cease to operate. Newsweek contacted Governor DeSantis's office and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for comment on Thursday via email outside of regular office hours.’

Republicans excel at wasting millions of dollars.

This would be a decent thread topic once the facility actually closes.

If it does.

I don't know what is sadder, the Democrats (and "not Democrats") reliance on "predictive news" in order to tout negative results for Trump's policies, or that such people cheer for illegal alien criminals to be let loose on innocent citizens.

It wasn't wasted at all. The shear publicity of it all was worth millions is persuading those contemplating coming here illegally to not even come.

The facilities there are portable. Didn't think about that, did you?

They can just move the equipment and the whole facility.

When was the last time Democrats and "not Democrats" celebrated a Trump defeat that was not

a) handed to them by a low-level judge
b) subject to overturn by a higher court,
and
c) proven to be entirely temporary?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Once again the American left, Dimocrats, ran to the courts in order to stop the enforcement of our immigration laws. They of course will tell you, this was about environmental laws, but we know better.

Face it, today's Dimocrats do not believe in immigration laws, and certainly not the enforcement of them.

The Prog judges at some point are going to face wrath.

Maybe DeSantis should stop breaking Florida LAW, then he wouldn't be facing so many suits and the judges handling the cases.

Unfortunately, the people involved in the usurping are costing the taxpayers with their edicts.

Maybe democrats should stop fighting the will of the people .

Its short term a higher court will overturn the ruling. Democrats will do anything to keep criminal illegals in the country. Criminals are the new protected minority for democrats.

Havent you noticed every lower court ruling is overturned in a higher court which gives Trump even more power.

Peewee Herman defense

You do it toooo

 

[initforme]

I never understood replies like this one. Basically you are saying "yeah, both parties waste money foolishly".

Now, no argument from me there.

Exactly. But we are told what a drain social security and medicare are on the economy. But the party in charge always comes up with money for something they want, which totally undermines anything they claim.
