America’s border towns have been drowning in problems for years. Cities across the nation can’t keep up with the flood of illegal aliens draining resources, overwhelming schools, and filling jails. Even with President Trump’s tough stance, finding places to hold these lawbreakers before sending them home has become a major headache.

Many states just complain about the mess. They point fingers and wait for someone else to fix it. Meanwhile, taxpayers foot the bill for hotels, shelters, and expensive detention centers that fill up faster than they can be built.

Florida, however, has stepped up with a solution so clever it might make you smile. State Attorney General James Uthmeier has offered the Trump administration use of what he calls “Alligator Alcatraz” – a massive detention facility surrounded by the wild Everglades.

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

Uthmeier described the location as, “an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right in the middle of the Everglades.”

This isn’t just any old building. The facility sits on 39 square miles of land about 50 miles west of Miami. It features the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, which has been nearly abandoned but could house up to 1,000 illegal aliens while they await deportation.

The best part? It could be up and running in just 30-60 days.

Natural Security at No Extra Cost

The genius of “Alligator Alcatraz” is in its natural defenses. Unlike other detention centers that need expensive fencing and security systems, this facility comes with built-in security guards – the thousands of alligators and massive pythons that call the murky waters and sawgrass of the Everglades home.

“The massive plot of land offers an efficient, low-cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility because you don’t need to invest that much in the perimeter,” explained Uthmeier.

Anyone thinking of escaping would face the same challenge as prisoners at the original Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay – a very unfriendly environment waiting just outside.

Florida Leading the Charge on Enforcement

This isn’t Florida’s first rodeo when it comes to cracking down on illegal immigration. The state has shown remarkable success in recent operations, fully supporting President Trump’s commitment to restore order at the border.

In just one operation in Tallahassee on May 29th, ICE arrested over 100 illegal aliens at a construction site. Even more impressive, between April 21st and 26th, Florida conducted the largest joint immigration operation in state history, resulting in 1,120 arrests – including members of violent foreign terrorist organizations.

“Florida has been leading on immigration enforcement, supporting the Trump administration and ICE’s effort to detain and deport criminal aliens,” Uthmeier stated.

A Model Solution for a National Problem

The timing couldn’t be better. ICE detention centers across the country are bursting at the seams, currently holding about 53,000 illegal migrants – well beyond the 41,500 beds funded by Congress.

With the White House setting a daily arrest quota of 3,000 illegal aliens, more space is urgently needed. “Alligator Alcatraz” offers a practical answer to this growing challenge.

“We’re going to continue to [detain and deport]. We’ve got thousands of arrests underway. We’re going to enforce the law,” Uthmeier told Fox News’s John Roberts.

This common-sense approach shows what can happen when states take initiative instead of just complaining. By repurposing an abandoned facility and letting Mother Nature help with security, Florida has created a model that other states could follow.

As America works to regain control of its borders, creative solutions like “Alligator Alcatraz” represent the kind of practical thinking taxpayers have been waiting for. No fancy contractors, no billion-dollar budgets – just good old American ingenuity putting existing resources to work.

The message is clear: when it comes to enforcing immigration law, Florida isn’t waiting around – and neither is the Trump administration. This is how America solves problems – with determination, resourcefulness, and respect for the rule of law.
