1. Does this mean there will be fewer asylum seekers at the border?

I wonder how many of them are innocent of committing crimes? Were they tried?

2. A awful lot of them are fleeing gangs, so ... it'll probably help a bit with that

But El Salvador is one country of many w/similar problems.

Let me just add this sounds like a very dangerous idea.

4. Yes way too many violent men packed in one place

3. Jeez, all it needs is "Arbeit Macht Frei" on the main gate

and it looks just as grim for the guards as for the prisoners.

I understand they need to do something to break the gangs, but I'm not sure the punitive approach will work all that well. You punish people, you tend to make them worse, not better.

This place is going to turn into a horror show very, very quickly.

5. Bigger than over 1,000 U.S. cities.
