In reply to the discussion: US officials visit Alcatraz amid Trump's plan to reopen island prison [View all]BumRushDaShow
(153,942 posts)36. Well based on the millions wasted to try to prepare to send 30,000 immigrants to Guantanamo
where they even bought and started setting up large tents and whatnot, and then realized there was no AC for the tents, let alone the fact that they didn't have 30,000 to put there, they finally decided to abandon that far-fetched crap. This was their reality show "photo op" thing-
They ended up shipping the couple hundred who were sent there, back to the U.S. and put them in detention in Louisiana, and that is when the lawsuits started flying.
So don't put it past them to make a ridiculous "attempt" to engage in more "waste, fraud, and abuse", and then find it fail.

Another waste of tax dollars like the wall. Rebuilding bridges would make more sense.
