Summary

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham offered President-elect Donald Trump a 1,402-acre ranch for deportation facilities.

The ranch, near the Rio Grande, is strategically located and has been previously used for agricultural purposes.

Despite claims of immigrants committing crimes at higher rates, data shows they commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population.

I would imagine more like concentration camps.

When the paperwork, effort and/or cost gets too much they'll just start killing them.

Its Texas. They just have to leave it open during the winter. Or the fall. Or the summer. Or probably the spring in a year or two.

Climate change and the inevitable week long power outages because of a self "managed" grid is more than enough to cause mass deaths.

McAllen is only 65mi from the ocean; a hurricane would be horrific. It's not like Texas gets hit by hurricanes a lot, right? Right?

Correct, and keep cashing the federal checks for "border security" Trump will arrange with them.

I can't imagin a neighbouring country accepting a large influx of people quickly or willingly. So Texas may find themselves "looking after" the people they send here for a long time.

I may be wrong on the process, but in Germany i believe it started with a community or neighbourhood being walled off. Think of a suburb or maybe a few large city blocks. People had to come and go through checkpoints and some were not allowed to leave.

After which these walled communities became slums or ghettos. Then the Nazis began to ship peoples from these walled communities out to Poland and neighbouring countries (that they invaded) into concentration camps.

History always repeats itself unfortunately.
