Will Fort Bliss Become A Huge Illegal Alien “Clearing House”?

There are about to be mega deportations of illegal aliens from the USA and Fort Bliss, located near the border between El Paso and Juarez, may be ground zero.

Fort Bliss has some history with housing foreigners. During WW II, POW's, mostly German but some Japanese and Italians, were sent here. At the war's peak, Fort Bliss was housing 3,000 POW's per month.

Now, Fort Bliss may soon be home to 1,000 illegal immigrants for a 60 day "evaluation period". After that, the number of illegals detained there could grow as high as 10,000.

Fort Bliss is kinda the guinea pig here and if the plan works as expected, NPR reports that Fort Bliss will be the model for 10 other detention camps on other military bases throughout the USA.

The detention camp won't be a jail per se but a holding area where illegal aliens are staged for return to their home country. A wait that shouldn't be very long:

At a White House press briefing last week, deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller pledged to use "every element and instrument of national power" to accelerate deportations of immigrants with criminal convictions and final orders of removal. "We are shortly on the verge of achieving a pace and speed of deportations this country has never before seen," Miller said. - - NPR
