POTUS suggest we export criminals to foreign prisons

I'm not sure about sending AmCits to foreign countries for punish.ent. I'm not a bleeding heart but strongly believe citizens are different from illegals.

You’re right. Deporting American citizens because we don’t like them is perfectly legal now.
Every day brings more "the sky is falling!" howling. I'm ok to let things play out and see where it goes. It might not be legal. If not, then it's not. It might get batted around and never acted on even if legal. Too soon to get all worked up.

Gitmo or that El Sal prison isn't where you want to be. If the thought of maybe going there cuts into illegal immigration or gang activity while this is nothing but talk it's a good thing.

How did you jump to illegal immigration? That’s not what we’re talking about here. This is citizens in American prison that are going to be deported somehow? Deporting is a separate issue. I agree with most of the deportations, but sending American citizens to Salvador is insane and not close to legal.


Hyperb yourself to the moon I guess.

Illegals - don't care what we do with them. El Sal, the bottom of the ocean or the moon. All good. If talk about sending "prisoners" to gitmo or el sal makes illegals or gang bangers think twice about things then that's good. That's all i meant by that.

I know we're talking about american citizens. I'm the one who said that i'm not sure i like the idea. Given that this is all talk talk at the moment, and only a day or two old, i'm not really worried about it.

Not that I care about the people that we're talking about (really bad people), mind you, but again its the foreign country part i'm not sure i like. We have private prisons in the US and I'm not sure i like that idea as there is a profit motive that could lead to abuses, but at least that is here in the US...
