El Salvador’s mega-prison stands as a bold solution to America’s immigration crisis. The CECOT facility locks up violent criminals in conditions so tough they’ll never return to streets here or there. Investigative journalist Nick Shirley’s footage shows why this approach works.
President Nayib Bukele cleaned up his country by throwing gang members into concrete boxes with no sunlight or hope. Murder rates plummeted from worst in the world to lowest in our hemisphere. Now he’s offering cage space to the U.S. for cartel thugs and MS-13 killers captured crossing our border.
The cells hold 80-100 men each. Inmates sleep on steel slabs without mattresses. They get 30 minutes daily in a bare courtyard before being locked down again. No phone calls. No family visits. No lawyers except through Zoom screens. This isn’t summer camp – it’s what happens when leaders put citizens’ safety first.
Donald Trump’s plan to deport foreign criminals here makes sense. Why should U.S. taxpayers feed and house these animals when El Salvador will do it cheaper? Bukele charges a “low fee” per prisoner, saving our communities from repeat offenders. Over 200 Venezuelan gangbangers already got flown there last month.
Soft-hearted liberals whine about “human rights” while ignoring the rights of law-abiding families. These gangs turned El Salvador into a warzone before Bukele cracked down. Now kids play outside without fear. Shop owners don’t pay protection money. Tourists visit beaches safely.
Nick Shirley’s video proves these prisoners deserve every minute inside. MS-13 killer Marvin Vazquez admitted his gang “murdered a lot of people.” He knows he’ll die behind those walls. That’s justice – not some cushy American jail with TV rooms and free healthcare.
The left claims innocent people get swept up in Bukele’s raids. Maybe a few mistakes happened while cleaning out the rot. But you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. Most Salvadorans back their president because he restored order after years of chaos.
America should learn from this success. Build tougher prisons. Deport illegal immigrant criminals instead of coddling them. Our streets would be safer, our borders stronger. Bukele’s mega-prison isn’t pretty, but it gets results where weak policies fail.
