90. However, leaving migrants and asylum seekers to rot in

concentration camps will not make Republicans and their supporters stew in their own juice. They will get funds to run private prisons for the people they round up and will hire MAGAs as guards. MAGA companies will get government contracts to provide food, water, and other necessities, but the prisoners will receive half of what they actually need after the contractors skim off the top.

Mexico will not be hurt by refusing to accept the deportees. The US fascists will not be hurt by keeping people imprisoned in the US. The people in the prisons will be hurt. Some will die.
