Earlier this year, the Texas Land Commissioner dropped nearly $4 million on a 1,402-acre plot near the border.
While she initially had border wall plans for the land, she now has an even better idea.
Sell that land to the government once Trump takes office and use it for a migrant detention center.
Great Idea
It has become quite clear in recent years that we do not have enough holding facilities for illegal immigrants.
This is the excuse that Biden and Mayorkas have used to allow millions of illegals to enter the country.
This plot of land would solve that problem.
Buckingham stated, “Our message to the Trump administration is ‘we’re here, we’re interested.’
“Of course, we own property all over the state, so we’re ready to sit down with them and talk about what could be strategic.”
She also stated that Texas looks forward to working hand-in-hand with the Trump administration to get this border issue fixed.
Buckingham stated, “We’ve identified some pieces that we think might be helpful to them, but of course, we will partner with the Trump administration for whatever they need.
“I think from the detention and deportation standpoint, we probably need some more urban pieces, which we do have.”
I hate to think what this situation at the border would be like today had Governor Abbott not started to ship migrants to sanctuary cities.
While many called it a publicity stunt at the time, it was that program that forced the mainstream media to finally cover the illegal immigration problem in this country.
This was clearly top of mind for voters during this election, which is never the case in a presidential election.
As far as this land goes, I think I would prefer for it to stay in the hands of Texas, but use federal funding to build the facility. My fear being that once a Democrat comes into office, they do something else with the land and Texas would have wound up giving up territory to the federal government.
How about a four-year lease, and we take it from there!
