Florida inauguró este martes un nuevo centro de detención para inmigrantes en los Everglades, levantado en menos de dos semanas pese a las protestas de los residentes y la confusión reinante entre las autoridades locales. El nombre que eligió el Gobierno del Estado para el centro, Alligator Alcatraz, parecía diseñado para captar la atención del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, quien en efecto mostró su agrado por la iniciativa. El mandatario viajó para asistir a la inauguración mientras, en Washington, el Senado terminaba de debatir y aprobaba su ley fiscal, a la que ha llamado “grande y hermosa”, que prevé más fondos para impulsar su ofensiva contra la inmigración.
00:30So, I thought this was so professional and so well done that you should come and look at it, as opposed to standing around and not knowing where we are.
00:41And we're just taking tours through the areas where they stay and the areas where the medical is and all.
00:46And they've really done, between Christy and Ron and the whole group, it's really government working together.
00:52And congratulations to you guys.
01:00They're going to sweep this.
01:15Hopefully, we're going to be used to.
01:18Tomorrow.
01:19Hopefully, yeah. Hopefully tomorrow, within the next 24 hours.
01:21We have the doctors, we have all the professional people.
01:23There's going to be a security sweep because there have been civilians here, so they will sweep this multiple times
01:29to make sure there's nothing that can be used as weapons or any contraband.
01:33And then once that's cleared, then they'll do.
01:35So, it's really up to, the secretary I know has got people in the queue, and so they'll be ready to recede.
01:40Alligator Alcatraz, we say no!
01:43Alligator Alcatraz, we say never!
01:47But listen, they don't, people don't have to, they don't have to come here.
01:55If they self-deport and go home, they can come back legally.
01:59We will let them come back legally.
02:00And there is a lot of self-deportation.
02:02But if you wait and we bring you to this facility, you don't ever get to come back to America.
02:08You don't get the chance to come back and be an American again and work here.
