As it turns out the proposal to build warehousing structures for interdicted refugees in the event of a ‘hypothetical Caribbean boat crisis’ is already well under way. Even though Defense Secretary Robert Gates shot down a costly proposal for a $125m Military Commissions Courthouse earlier this year, the Miami Herald, who has been doing a good job of keeping watch on Guantanamo’s base development, says progress is being made on the migrant detention installation with some lucrative contracts in the works.
It appears the Bush administration has not only been preparing for what’s being referred to as a “theoretical humanitarian relief mission” by developing a sheltering scheme capable of accommodating 10,000 people – for those either “fleeing a political crisis” or “a natural disaster” – but there is another second wave proposal (no pun intended) that is looking to build out even larger facilities for an additional 35,000 potential migrants.
10,000 people? 35,000 people? Why are we building concentration camps in Cuba as well as 'detention centers' in the U.S.? What is our government getting ready to do?

Look, it follows a consistent pattern. They don't care about democracy. This is for the thousand year reich, what they openly called the "permanent republican majority."
The permanent republican majority... while poll after poll proves that the vast majority of Americans are more liberal in their values.
I'm just concerned that there will be a lot of citizens of the United States visiting Cuba in the near future....
