BREAKING: The Trump administration has started detaining people in tents at Fort Bliss, an army base in Texas and New Mexico. This facility is on track to be the nation's largest immigrant detention center holding up to 5,000 people, and will cost an estimated $1.26 billion of taxpayers' money.

And what tent company is getting a billion dollars for a tent? Just like we did in FL, we need to expose all the private contractors capitalizing off of a concentration camp.

Fort Bliss is a large U.S. Army installation located in El Paso, Texas, near the border with Mexico. It's a major hub for various military units and personnel, including the 1st Armored Division, the Army's oldest and most renowned armored division.

$1.25B ÷ 5k = $252,000 per detainee? Wouldn't it be good business to give them each a work visa and let them pay income taxes, rent, and sales tax? If some of them are actual criminals, the average U.S. cost of jail or prison is only $40k per year per inmate.
