Lawmakers in Florida are raising alarm over documents suggesting immigrant children and pregnant women could be detained at āAlligator Alcatraz.ā
A draft operational plan obtained by the Miami Herald suggests minors could indeed be transported to the controversial site in the Everglades. The 35-page undated document details protocols to āseparate minors from unrelated adultsā and to provide āsnacks and waterā to minors, pregnant women and detainees with medical conditions during transport.
āThe State of Florida is planning to send pregnant women and children to the āAlligator Alcatrazā detention camp,ā wrote State Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith on social media. āThis is totally un-American. We cannot be silent.ā
Exactly. This is all gobbledygook feelgoodery grandstanding without any actual change. Again. From the democrats.
To be fair to them, theyāre in the superminority right now so all theyād be able to do is feelgood grandstanding.
What pisses me off is that only 5-6 of them could actually have been bothered to try. All 43 of them should have been showing up there in unison and demanding entry. At least show a united front, for the love of God. But they canāt even be bothered to do the bare minimum grandstanding, let alone actual action.
