Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has offered President-elect Donald Trump the use of a 1,402-acre ranch in Starr County, on the U.S.-Mexico border, for the construction of deportation facilities.

Buckingham, a Republican, made the offer in a letter sent to Trump on Tuesday in which she pledged to support what she described as “the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”

    Yeah why do you need land? I feel like planes and boats are more useful. Maybe buses.

      Deportation requires the home country of the alien to accept them back with some cooperation. Most of these countries are not going to be cooperative with Trump Admin trying to foist a few extra million people back to them and will likely refuse. Trump’s gonna have to put them somewhere. Aaaand shit we’re right back to Auschwitz

        To follow with “it’s getting too expensive to house these violent criminals so we’re just going to execute them”

        Shortly after that, “bullets are too costly so we’re trying out some new techniques”
