Well guess what, America?!

We are now officially building and maintaining concentration camps for migrant families who have come to our borders seeking asylum. Even though the mainstream media is reporting that the Trump Administration is "considering" tent concentration camps, the truth is that they have already been erected. As The Daily Beast published just two days ago, these camps already exist in El Paso, TX. These camps are former military hospital facilities converted to prison camps. Representative Nanette Barragan (D-CA) said after visiting the camp that it was "filthy" and "heartbreaking."

Now comes a solicitation from the Trump Administration for contractors to bid on other "soft sided structures."

Bids are due on the 16th because Attorney General William Barr has just banned bail for migrants seeking asylum...which by the way, is not a crime..and they need somewhere to keep these people, to concentrate them if you will.

According to the solicitation, the Trump Administration is in need of the following "soft sided structures for both El Paso and Donna, TX":
