    well they could take funding from other places?
    it’s not a linear plan though… eventually they’ll shift to extermination domestically.
    for one i’m sure it’s cheaper per-person, per-day, to imprison someone in a foreign country.
    But i think the main motivation right now is just the legal loophole of offshore torture… that and it’s the “flood the zone” strategy (bannon).
    After all of the uproar and legal stuff about El Salvador, they shifted to sending people to a whole bunch of other third world dictatorship’s maximum security prisons.
    after El Salvador got a lot of press, a lot of other countries probably stepped in and made offers.

      Sounds like there’s also a lot of potential for soviet style gulags, forced labor camps, or basically just slavery. If that’s what USA is offering, many dictatorships would probably be glad to make a deal. Once USA figures out how to have gulgas on their own soil, the expenses will suddenly vanish entirely.
