El-Salvador offers to take any criminals from US into jails for small price, including Americans

El Salvador has agreed to import and imprison illegal aliens of any nationality from the United States, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Rubio on Monday announced the deal after a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, saying the deal is “the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world.”

“We can send them [the illegals] and he [Bukele] will put them in his jails,” Rubio added. “And he’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences in the United States even though they’re US citizens or legal residents.”

The only catch is that Bukele intends to charge a “relatively low” fee for the Trump administration to use his prisons.

“The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable,” he explained in a tweet.

Look:

The prison he mentioned, the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), is notoriously harsh.

“Overcrowding constitutes a serious threat to prisoners’ health and lives,” a State Department travel advisory for El Salvador notes. “In many facilities, provisions for sanitation, potable water, ventilation, temperature control, and lighting are inadequate or nonexistent.”

As for the added idea of also sending U.S. citizens convicted of heinous crimes to El Salvador, President Donald Trump previously expressed interest in exactly that.

“We also have many violent criminals in our country, however, that did not necessarily come here illegally but have been arrested 30 times, 35 times, 41, 42 times … for murder [and] other heinous charges,” he said last week in a speech to House Republicans.

“I don’t want these violent repeat offenders in our country any more than I want illegal aliens from other countries in. This is subject to getting it approved, but if they’ve been arrested many, many times [and] they’re repeat offenders by many numbers, I want them out of our country. I also will be seeking permission to do so. We’re going to get approval, hopefully, to get them the hell out of our country,” he added.

Leftists have of course already begun crying foul over all this.

Roman Palomares, the National President and Chairman of the Board of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), whined to CNN that it was “a sad day for America.”

He added that his group “opposes treating deported non-criminal migrants like cattle who can be shuttled from one country to another without regard to their home of origin.”

Leftist Emerson College professor Mneesha Gellman claimed the deal violates the law.

“It is a bizarre and unprecedented proposal being made potentially between two authoritarian, populist, right-wing leaders seeking a transactional relationship,” she complained to CNN. “It’s not rooted in any sort of legal provision and likely violates a number of international laws relating to the rights of migrants.”

Meanwhile, everyday American citizens celebrated.
