5. Highly Impractical.

1. There are no existing facility for such detention.
2. We don't have Greenland.
3. If we got Greenland, it would take a lot of time and money to build the facilities needed.
4. It's freaking cold in Greenland, and there's ice everywhere. All year.
5. Transporting building materials, etc. would cost a fortune. There's nothing in Greenland to build it with.
5. The cost of transporting thousands of detainees would be prohibitive.
6. The cost of supplying a facility that could house them would also be horribly expensive.

Impractical. I would take at least 2 years to even be ready for detainees, if we even had Greenland.
