I've seen people posting tweets from public figures talking about alligators, seen other people joking about alligators. It appears to me that the issue is political, not environmental, but I don't fully get the picture.

What's going on?

"Alligator Alcatraz" is a new concentration camp built in the swamps of Florida. They're selling Alligator Alcatraz merchandise to fund some cartoonishly evil dickwad's political campaign.

Not to mention, that 65 million figure is the total number of Latino people in the US - born citizens, naturalized citizens, documented and undocumented immigrants. It’s clear that they’re ramping up to imprison anyone they deem insufficiently white.

We’re in extremely dangerous territory.

I'm surprised they haven't started calling black people the n-word openly yet.
