Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham pledged to support "the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history."

Summary

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham offered President-elect Donald Trump a 1,402-acre ranch for deportation facilities.

The ranch, near the Rio Grande, is strategically located and has been previously used for agricultural purposes.

Despite claims of immigrants committing crimes at higher rates, data shows they commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population.

    Parent said it has NOTHING to do with building concentration camps. So it would be odd to expect that word in the article. Or did you realize they were being sarcastic? Then I guess you just didn’t like the joke and responded with being pedantic to distract from the point.

      Republicans have zero empathy, therefore zero humor or sarcasm function. It’s usually beaten out of them by their father or mother.

      Oh I get it, parent is bringing up a point unrelated to the article so we can discuss that instead of the issue of mass deportations! I don’t do sarcasm I guess.

        Where do you think millions of people will be held while awaiting deportation?

        Where do they deport someone to who does not have citizenship somewhere else? Right, you don’t. You keep them in camps.

        Read a history book. Like no seriously.
