Border Tent Builder Chugs Illegal Labor Kool-Aid, Wins $1.2B
The Department of Defense just handed over a $1.2 billion contract to build Americaâs biggest migrant detention camp at Fort Blissâstarring Disaster Management Group, whose owner, Nathan Albers, once co-owned a company caught hiring illegal workers. Oh, Iâm sorry, did I miss the part where 'the irony is thick,' as Scott Shuchart called it? Despite past convictions and a $16 million wage violation, Albers and Disaster Management were 'exonerated' and dropped from investigations, all while cozying up at Mar-a-Lago. It's a labyrinth of hypocrisy, legal loopholes, and tent-supported storytelling.

Tent makers caught with illegal labor now get paid billions to lock up migrants. So let me get this straight: the ice cream truck that sells you rotted soft serve also gets hired to clean your freezer? Yeah, works perfectlyâif perfection means the punchline is a disaster.
So the guy who broke immigration laws is now hired to build border prisons? Whatâs next: arsonists doing your fire inspections? Plot twist: they offer loyalty cards at detention camp gift shops.
This is like hiring the guy who crashed your car to build a traffic light. Except the traffic light is a pit stop for political hypocrisy on wheels.
