Work to begin building a new, massive migrant deportation site at El Paso's Fort Bliss is imminent, the U.S. Secretary of the Army said. U.S. Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll visited Fort Bliss and El Paso on March 25 and 26, where he said that the process to establish the immigration deportation site has received the green light, meaning that preparation could begin in the coming days.

"The process of preparing it and getting it ready to be built out will start to occur any day," Driscoll said. "This is such an incredibly important mission. We believe to keep the American people safe." Driscoll spoke to reporters during a brief news conference in a meeting room at Million Air El Paso, a privately-held aviation company.

The site will be on the periphery of Fort Bliss' federal land. The Office of the Secretary of Defense must approve the proposal before construction can begin, Lt. Col. Jeff Tolbert, public affairs advisor, said.

The Secretary of the Army could not confirm whether the facility would be used for family units, single males, women, or unaccompanied minors. The Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, will operate the facility. The DHS joint information center did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Concentration camps. Where is the funding line-item for this?

3. 10,000 immigrants

The site is set to house 10,000 migrants awaiting deportation.

from the article above.

Let that sink in for a minute. Ten thousand human beings forced to live in the desert in close quarters.

Ten thousand at just one deportation site.

How much does it cost ME to transport human beings to the arm pit of the nation (sorry my fellow El Pasoans)?

How much does it cost ME for the room, board and medical care of 10,000 people?

10,000 people going through an already broken immigration system? I guess none of them will receive a hearing.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
