How much waisted taxes will go into rebuilding a prison there? Personally I think they should tear it down and turn it into beautiful island.
It's barely big enough to hold all of the criminals in Trump's circle.

Frivolous speculation. Should Republicans be taxed for putting a 34 times convicted felon into office?
It was deliberate, while leaders ran a con on the American people claiming the border was safe, secure, and closed. It's not an easy mess to clean up.

Bill every member of the Democratic Party for allowing criminals to come into our country and even giving them goods to make their life here easier.
"Look, squirrel!"

Putting aside the accuracy of the accusation, how does that justify dumping billions into reopening a prison that was shut down for being too expensive to operate?

It's called fiscal responsibility, GOP style.

They ate heavily invested in the private prison stocks. Not everyone cares about ethical investing.

There's a giant flat concrete part of the island.... Just build a high-rise prison right there, 100 stories high, and keep the old relic next to it.
Which I’m sure somehow overcomes all the issues that made the old prison cost projective.

Billions have not yet been spent. Let your representatives know what you think should be done.

A monument to carceration? In the “land of the free”?
Well, it’ll balance out the Statue of Liberty, one supposes.
