I don’t think anyone realizes how impressive Alligator Alcatraz is. The State of Florida built this 3,000 bed federal prison in eight days. The director tells me it could have been done in 72 hours were it not for some regulatory hold-ups. Now all the state needs is DOJ approval to deputize the National Guard as Deportation judges and this will become the most efficient deportation center in American history.

Nope. That is a slippery slope that if/when abused is something that can't be reneged. Our military should never become law enforcement over civilians, even for one specific thing. I don't care if it's for illegal immigrants. I don't care if it's for deportation. 

It's one thing to have them at the border to support border patrol or in LA to help local law enforcement contain violent protestors. In both situations an actual law enforcement agency is in charge. Weaponizing our military within our borders is a big fat NO-GO. Recruit and train people for this job just like you would for any other. law enforcement position.
