People are pointing out a chilling detail after Donald Trump visited the new controversial ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ migrant centre in Florida on Tuesday.

Ever since the 47th POTUS returned for his second term in January, he has pledged to crackdown on illegal immigration.

Earlier this week, Trump unveiled plans for a new immigration centre in Florida and nicknamed the facility 'Alligator Alcatraz' due to its location at an abandoned air strip in the middle of a Miami swamp.

The state's attorney general James Uthmeier also joked of the immigration base, saying: "You don't need to invest that much in the perimeter. If people get out, there's not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons."

Photos of Trump touring the centre have been circulating online, and it's fair to say people are not impressed.

"These photos and videos will be used in history classes one day. Absolutely deplorable," one person penned, as a second added: "So let me get this straight. Republicans are really about to get this dumb ass bill to Trump's desk.

"This bill literally funds ICE building concentration camps like this."

And a third pointed out a chilling detail about the images of Trump touring the facility, saying: "The images coming out of this place look more like concentration camp dwelling then detention centers in a supposedly first world country."

Speaking to press on Tuesday, Trump said he would like to see similar centres in 'really, many states' across the US.

He added: "Pretty soon, this facility will handle the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet. The only way out, really, is deportation."

Before arriving at the centre, Trump joked about migrants being held there, saying: “We’re going to teach them how to run away from an alligator if they escape prison."

"Don’t run in a straight line. Run like this,” the president added, as he moved his hand in a zigzag motion. And you know what? Your chances go up about one percent."

Republican and Florida governor Ron DeSantis said the centre would hold around 3,000 people, with some arriving as early as Wednesday (July 2).

The centre has been built over 10 miles of the Everglades, with critics voicing concerns over the potential impact it could have on the ecosystem.

Well, Trump has been quick to dismiss these concerns, stating: "Frankly, it’s, like, perfect. I don’t think you’re doing anything to the Everglades. You’re just enhancing it."

The president went on to say an airstrip in the area means authorities would not be 'dropping dirt'.
