NextImg:Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ migrant center: Letters to the Editor — July 7, 2025

The Issue: President Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” immigrant detention center in the Everglades.

Is that what Dems think a concentration camp is (“Peek into ‘Swamp cooler,’ ” July 2)?

The main component of concentration camps were the gas chambers. Alligator Alcatraz has air conditioning.

This is a good place for the ICE rioters to go. I love it.

Forget attractions like Miami Beach and Disney World. Florida has a new tourist destination called “Alligator Alcatraz.”

That’s right: The state is spending $450 million a year to lock up every immigrant it can catch; many who have been here for years picking produce, cleaning toilets, changing sheets at our hotels, fixing your roof, washing dishes at your favorite restaurant and doing jobs that no American wants to do.

Some states have very patriotic symbols of immigration: New York has the Statue of Liberty that long welcomed immigrants to our shores. Here in the “Free State of Florida,” we have Alligator Alcatraz.

Since we use these immigrants for their services more than any other state, that makes us the nation’s biggest pack of hypocrites.

So now the weak, cowardly, infantile, looney Democrats are whining about sending illegal immigrant thugs to a prison surrounded by alligators.

And the Dems still can’t figure out why we don’t vote for them.

The newly built Alligator Alcatraz center to detain illegal migrants slated for deportation has been branded by liberals like Joy Reid as a “concentration camp for brown people.”

Reid is a hard-core, far-left radical and this “concentration camp” label is a reflection of her severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Democrats need to have their history refreshed.

“Concentration camps” was the term mostly used during Nazi Germany’s brutal rule. They were death camps set up specifically for one use only: the assembly-line murder of 6 million completely innocent Jews. No one came out alive.

Plus: The left probably knows, but chooses to ignore, the fact that during World War II it was a Democratic president, Franklin Roosevelt, who incarcerated innocent, law-abiding, American citizens simply because they were of Japanese descent.

I never thought that I would live long enough to see a US president support a detention facility that holds people without due process in the Florida Everglades surrounded by snakes.

The Issue: The University of Pennsylvania strips transgender swimmer Lia Thomas‘ past titles.

It is completely acceptable for Lia Thomas to be stripped of her titles in female events (“Penn yanks trans titles,” July 2).

However, there should be a separate category for transgender women with its own awards and records. If a transgender woman finishes in the top three in an event, she should be entitled to a medal, but it should be in addition to the medals awarded to the top three cisgender women.

Everyone should be allowed to compete, but they should not have complete freedom as to which category they compete in.

Bruce Couchman

Toronto, Canada

The actions undertaken by the University of Pennsylvania to nullify its transgender swimmer’s titles is nothing less than a tacit expression of what has been known all along: This was a biological man competing against young women in grievously unfair athletic competitions.
