AUSTIN, TEXAS — In American lore, it is claimed, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” unless she is undesirable to MAGA World; then she will be placed in a new Texas concentration camp, as a deal is being brokered now for construction to begin on 1,402 acres near the Rio Grande River.
This week, Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, M.D. sent a letter to the incoming Trump Administration offering over 1,400 acres of newly acquired General Land Office (GLO) state land in Starr County, Texas, for the construction of deportation facilities (a concentration camp) and staging areas to carry out the Trump Administration’s plans to deport illegal immigrants beginning in 2025.
“As Texas Land Commissioner and steward of over 13 million acres, it’s been my promise to all Texans since assuming my role at the GLO to use every tool at my disposal to gain complete operational control of our southern border,” said Commissioner Buckingham. “This is why I am offering President-elect Trump over 1,400 acres of state land (pictured at top) on the southern border to aid his administration in carrying out their deportation plans to place the safety and well-being of all Americans first and foremost.”
The GLO acquired a ranch along the Rio Grande in Starr County, at the end of October 2024. Less than 24 hours later, Commissioner Buckingham signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), granting them authorization to begin state border wall construction.
Starr County is part of the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector, which has recorded approximately 1.4 million migrant encounters crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico into South Texas since January 2021.
