The Navy memo outlines plans to build “temporary and austere” tent cities to house 25,000 migrants at abandoned airfields just outside the Florida panhandle near Mobile, Alabama, at Navy Outlying Field Wolf in Orange Beach, Alabama, and nearby Navy Outlying Field Silverhill.
The memo also proposes a camp for as many as 47,000 people at former Naval Weapons Station Concord, near San Francisco; and another facility that could house as many as 47,000 people at Camp Pendleton, the Marines’ largest training facility located along the Southern California coast. The planning memo proposes further study of housing an undetermined number of migrants at the Marine Corps Air Station near Yuma, Arizona.
The planning document estimates that the Navy would spend about $233 million to construct and operate a facility for 25,000 people for a six-month time period. The proposal suggests these tent cities be built to last between six months and one year.

And a built-in endless staff of well-armed Prison-guards too.
What could be more Trumpland convenient! … when they return to their ‘Lock-em up’ internment ways — once the Media’s attention moves on to other things.
Obviously by calling for the US to militarize multiple
Internment Camps across the nation
, Donald Trump proves he is no student of History’s atrocities — unless of course, to the contrary, he is proving he is a keen fan of them, instead.
