Let me tell you what really burns me up. For years, Americans watched our neighborhoods change while illegals flooded in. Politicians in Washington? They just talked and talked. They promised solutions that never came. The crisis at our southern border got worse every single day.

But here’s the thing – citizens had enough. They voted for leaders who would actually enforce our laws. No more excuses. No more delays. Just action.

Finally! Someone who gets it. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis just announced “Deportation Depot.” It’s the state’s second big immigration detention facility. And you want to know the best part? This is what real leadership looks like. The facility is at Baker Correctional Institution in North Florida. It will house over 1,300 illegal immigrants. They can squeeze in 2,000 if needed.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Thursday that Florida will be opening up its newest immigration detention facility, after “Alligator Alcaraz,” which will be named “Deportation Depot.”

The announcement from DeSantis comes after deportations from “Alligator Alcatraz” began last month. “We are authorizing and will be soon opening this new illegal immigration detention, processing and deportation facility here in North Florida,” DeSantis said.

Smart Strategy Meets Fiscal Responsibility

Remember when they said this couldn’t be done? Well, watch this. The Baker location wasn’t picked by accident. It’s 15 minutes from Lake City Airport. That means getting them out faster. No more long bus rides. No more wasted time. DeSantis said this proximity “is good, something that will make a difference.”

But wait, it gets better. The feds are paying for everything. That’s right – not one dime from Florida taxpayers. The whole thing costs $6 million to build. That’s under budget! They thought about using Camp Blanding first. That would have cost way more. This is smart governing. Get the job done. Don’t waste our money.

Real Action, Not Empty Promises

Of course the ACLU and Democrats are crying about it. They’re calling the facility “inhumane.” Oh, NOW they care about conditions? Give me a break. These detention centers have everything – three meals a day, medical care, recreation, legal access. Everything the law requires. Where were these people when our border was wide open? Sound familiar?

Here’s what kills me. These same critics said nothing about the chaos before. Now they complain when we actually enforce the law. Notice the pattern?

The Florida National Guard is sending 200 more troops this month. They’ll work at ten ICE facilities across the state. This isn’t just talk anymore. It’s real people doing real work. Major General John D. Haas said these guardsmen will “support emerging requirements here in Baker County and other locations.” That’s military speak for “we’re getting stuff done.”

The Tide Has Turned

You know what? This second facility plus “Alligator Alcatraz” in the Everglades makes Florida the leader. We’re showing everyone how it’s done. And the timing? Perfect. Trump’s back and illegal crossings are at record lows. States that work with the feds are winning.

DeSantis made it simple. He said we’re not keeping them forever. “We want to process, stage, and then return illegal aliens to their home country. That is the name of the game.” Common sense, right? What took so long?

Think about this for a second. The last administration opened our borders. They let sanctuary cities run wild. But now? Conservative leaders are bringing back law and order. While Washington paper pushers made excuses, governors like DeSantis found solutions. While politicians worried about being politically correct, real leaders worried about keeping us safe.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of excuses. More states are following Florida’s lead. Americans are finally getting the secure borders they wanted. We voted for this. We demanded this. And now we’re getting it.

Let the media cry about it. We’re getting results. The “Deportation Depot” proves something important. With the right leadership, we can fix our biggest problems. We just needed leaders with guts. The only question now? Which state steps up next.
