@UT alum  What do you think about this?

A bunch of political posturing bs. You want your tax dollars to update a dilapidated structure that was closed partly because of extreme logistic expenses to begin with? It’s the imagery is all Trump wants. Sounds tough. Shouldn’t happen when cheaper alternatives exist. Aren’t you a fiscal conservative?

I doubt this will happen, but if it did happen, I bet he could build it cheaper than expected. Remember US Embassy in Israel. He did it in 6 months for only $400K instead of building from scratch taking 6-10 years.

Alcatraz is a symbol....while I think it may be impractical, it would be cool to have it back.

Use the one in Ohio where they put Andy Dufresne. I like that one. Opening Alcatraz would create jobs. There are plenty of other prisons that could reopen.

It was in Maine.

I know he could build it cheaper. 20” centers, 1/4” decking, illegal labor - no doubt he could. He’s Master of Cheap.

Undocumented. The same ones businesses have been using for decades. Why you think it is there aren’t more restrictions or more enforcement on employers? Following the money. Trump sure does.

I see sarcasm doesn’t translate well through text. I was challenging the liberal mantra that it’s ok for illegal immigrants to be here. Kind of a conflict of interest saying businesses shouldn’t hire them……or is it just Trump?
