Gitmo - The Reprise

New migrant centre planned

According to Sky News:

Donald Trump has signed an executive order to open a migrant detention centre at Guantanamo Bay.

So now Guantanamo prison has been largely emptied of illegally rendered terror suspects, a new use has been found for the site: Housing up to 30,000 migrants who cannot be deported to their home countries.

Wizard idea!

However...

The optics of using Guantanamo to house deported migrants is stark - reflective of the hardline policy being pursued by Trump.

As opposed say to housing them on a disease-ridden hulk moored off Weymouth or exporting them to Albania.

Trump is all about getting value from US assets.

They can even reuse all those orange jumpsuits and shackles. Bonus!

Interesting?
