Florida mayor on housing detained migrants: 'Bring them to the Trump hotels'

The mayor of a Florida city reportedly being eyed by the Trump administration to potentially house hundreds of migrants is suggesting one possible solution: sending migrants to Trump hotels.

Broward County Mayor Mark Bogen (D) floated the idea on Friday as officials in Broward and Palm Beach counties push back on the Trump administration's plans for detained migrants.

"Bring them to the Trump hotels and ask the president to open his heart and home as well," Bogen said, according to multiple reports.

Palm Beach County Mayor Mack Bernard (D) also push back on the plans Friday, telling CNN, "The president wants to send his problems to Palm Beach County. And that's not fair."

Bill the govt top dollar, then remodel the hotel on our dime. Meanwhile, free labor for maraloogie and the hotels themselves.

and turn them into "beautiful" tent cities to house displaced migrants.

Everyone can start big veggie gardens on the greens, maybe fence off those sand traps to put in a nice chicken coop, or a pig pen, get a few goats, too.

And when Miami Baseball Stadium was used to house Nicaraguans. Since both facilities have been torn down I say we use Trump's Doral resort.
