Iowa GOP offers abandoned hog farms for Muslim relocation camps.

AP: Iowa offers abandoned hog farms for Muslim relocation camps.

Otto Sturm, Republican party chair of Iowa said his state is perfect for the internment camps suggested by controversial presidential candidate Donald Trump. "We are centrally located and Interstate 80 runs through us and across the entire country. We have railway tracks connecting to every state so getting folks here will be no problem." While acknowledging the farms were in poor shape now and would need new plumbing for human habitants, he stated they already had a master plan "We'll round up illegals for repairs and have these places spic and span in a hot minute."

State Senator Herman Drang came up with the idea after meeting with Trump and began presenting it to the state Republican caucus soon after. Drang, who owns a Heating and Air distributorship was so excited by the plans that he has offered to donate the camps' heating systems from his company's line of multi fuel furnaces. Sturm and Drang said they weren't concerned about all the criticisms they have heard about their plan. Sturm laughed and said "l guess this country just has to have a great furor before we can permanently solve this problem."

The sad thing is it is hard to tell what's coming from the Onion or the AP or a bozo like me.
