An illegal alien detention center on an abandoned airstrip in the Florida Everglades was just an idea less than a week ago. On Wednesday, construction on Alligator Alcatraz was already underway. Wow, that’s fast!
Here’s more from NBC News. (WATCH)
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Alligator Alcatraz is ALREADY under construction in Florida, and will be ready to house over 5,000 illegals by NEXT MONTH

An alligator army will surround this place.
Posters say the detention facility has a ‘border’ that no sane illegal alien will try to cross.
Alligator Alcatraz is how illegals FIND OUT!

They’ll REALLY find out if they try to escape 🤣

We have swamp puppies 20 foot pythons, sand panthers bobcats as big as Rottweilers so we really don't need a whole lot of security down there and it's going to only the area that is already established base Doesn't everybody wanna play with the swamp puppy or a bobcat?

Each illegal alien detainee should be briefed on all the dangers of the swamp.
Commenters wonder how protesters will stage a demonstration.
I can’t wait to see how the protestors handle this scorching mess.

Imagine protesters going out there, they don't got the balls

You would think the fear of being held in an alligator-infested swamp or permanently imprisoned at CECOT in El Salvador would be enough to force illegal aliens to self-deport. It would be interesting to see the self-deportation numbers as Alligator Alcatraz nears completion.
