During a recent visit to the southern border with former President Donald Trump, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem issued a stern warning to migrants: self-deport or end up in ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’
As Trump and Noem surveyed the border wall, Noem took the opportunity to address the ongoing immigration crisis. In her typical no-nonsense fashion, she declared, “We have a simple choice here, folks. Either you self-deport or you’ll find yourself sharing a cell with some hungry gators on Alligator Alcatraz.”
The idea of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ may sound like something out of a B-movie, but Noem insists it’s a very real and effective solution to the border crisis. “We have plenty of alligators down here in South Dakota that are just itching for a snack. So if these migrants think they can just waltz across the border, they better think again,” Noem said with a sly grin.
When asked about the logistics of transporting migrants to Alligator Alcatraz, Noem brushed off any concerns. “Oh, it’s all taken care of. We’ve got a fleet of gator-proof rafts ready to go. And don’t worry, we’ll make sure they have plenty of marshmallows to keep the gators happy,” she quipped.
In response to the backlash from human rights groups, Noem remained unfazed. “Listen, these migrants knew the risks when they decided to come here illegally. If they don’t want to end up as gator food, they should have thought twice before breaking the law,” she stated matter-of-factly.
As word of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ spread, social media exploded with memes and jokes about the unconventional punishment. One Twitter user joked, “I heard they’re planning to broadcast the gator feeding on pay-per-view. Talk about reality TV!”
Despite the uproar, Noem’s tough stance on immigration has earned her praise from Trump, who called her a “true patriot” during the visit. With ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ looming in the background, it seems that Noem is not backing down anytime soon.
