Everyone seemed to be having so much fun, Young Alex, that I really did not plan on adding to it, but you and I go way back, and as you know, I am, indeed an expert on just about any topic worthy of consideration or comment, so let me fill you in.
It is not just a question of Stevie being right, he is far to recitent in declaring the solution to the problem. Let us, for the sake of argument, assume that the number of these federal; concentration camps reaches 4,000; it will make our math easier.
I have mentioned that my son David is an ICE agent. I have not mentioned that his elder brother is a CO with the FBP working out of Chicago. Now that is an administrative unit designed to hold only about 350 inmates, though it currently holds 400+. The "normal" FBP facility, like that at Marion, IL, was built to hold 1,500 inmates, though again, notoriously, the number of (rightfully) convicted federal criminals has led to numbers in excess of that. The population of a federal concentation camp can greatly exceed that ( c.f. the populations of Japanese internment camps: Michi Nishiura, Years of Infamy) and could, today, easily house 2,000, so the 4,000 camps can be expected to hold 8,000,000.
Now, as you probably know, the entire prison population of the US in 2009 was only about 2,300,000, so even under the provisions of 287G (the jargon name for the apropriate section of Immigration Law that allows state and municipal LE officers to assist in federal programs; I don't know if it has a fancier, official title) the feds are going to have to work pretty hard to fill all of those births. That doesn't mean that they aren't trying. My ICE son, when he does his quarterly handgun qualification, is, now, not only scored on accuracy but speed. One has to wonder whether that doesn't mean that agents will be expected, at some time in the furure, to shoot "suspects" before they have time to declare that they are honest US citizens instead of shiftless Mexicans.
So yes, accusing Stevie of being an ignorant moron, even if such a charge were true, does not alter the threat of this plan: cost.
I had Christmas dinner with a couple of IEA guys whose job is to fly criminal illegal aliens all over the world for repatriation to and incarcerate in their own counties. Do you have any idea how much that takes out of our taxes per year, Alex? And those 8,000,000 internees will have to be housed, fed, and treaded for the disgusting diseases to which such people are prone. 8,000,000 is hard to imagine, for me at least, but it is over three times the population of Chicago! And we have to pay for their board and keep! No, if I understand Stevie's message correctly, it is "do away with the concentration camps, dig some large pits, and find a simple and permanent solution to those who choose to threaten our American way of Life". At 96, I am sure that he remembers that this simple solution has been successfully applied before.
