Gearing up for the death camps

You mean Alligator Alcatraz? Concentration camps are already a work in progress.

*Alligator Auschwitz.

Alligator Alcatraz costs about $500 million for 5000 inmates, or $100,000 per inmate.

That $45 billion detention budget is enough for 450,000 inmates. The US has about 2 million people incarcerated.
