The HSI and Governor Pillen is reopening a correctional facility in McCook Ne to house illegal immigrates. They announced it during the week.
Local news outlets reported the story.
Many residents near the facility and other residents in nearby communities are concerned about the situation and have voiced their outrage against the decision!
Former Governor Ricketts now US Senator stated that it will be a great opportunity to reform the detainees and good chance to be better citizens.
Well, thats not why they are being held in detention centers and yet the GOBers continue to spew lies about their crimes!

But Italy would be even more harrowing.

(351 posts)I though interment camps were places where kidnapped law abiding citizens are placed before they are sent to another country? Just exactly why would you retrain and reform kidnapped law abiding people to be better citizens if you are going to traffic them to another country? Exactly how to do retrain and reform kidnapped law abiding citizens to be better citizens? I think the former Governor knows something that we don't know....

Hopefully just a slip of the tongue if the governor actually said 'better citizens' when he was actually talking about a group who, by definition, are supposed to be NON-citizens.
