More likely what they are trying to do is funnel huge amounts of money (tax dollars) through these camps.

For example:
There would be exorbitant bills to divide the space up into “rooms“. Where the legitimate cost for making such a room would be something like $500, they will charge $3500 and the contractor funnels that money back to Trump or other associates who are grifting the taxpayers.

they are really concentration camps; prison presupposes due process and adjudication. But it IS Rachel, so I guess I can it let pass for now.

As to the question of who’s going to fill the camps, if you’re having trouble with the math, find a mirror.

Yes, indeed.

and then some more.

and I can also bet you, if this shit happens, this is only the beginning.

they will fill up the concentration camps (that are only supposed to house 100K), they will quickly become over crowded. they will try to deport some, but won't be able to do it fast enough for the orange pedo, then comes their "final solution", when they realize their own gross incompetence at doing anything and will have to start "making room". you can fill in the rest.

this is a horribly warped record that has been played over and over again since World War II and it always ends up the same way.

Re-education facilities…aka…brainwashing centers. Another thought…Poor Houses…solving the homeless and poverty problems. Can’t “cleanup’ a city and have people begging and sleeping on the streets.
