Evidently, we need more places to stash illegal alien criminals whose own countries won't take them back. In a somewhat unexpected development, the Trump administration is now in talks with the African nation of Rwanda to take some of these deportees.

Rwanda's government and the Trump administration are discussing details about a potential agreement for Kigali to accept deportees from the U.S., including Africans and other non-Rwandan nationals, CBS News has learned. 

Decisions on potential financial compensation for taking in the deportees and other details would be discussed within the next two weeks, according to a Rwandan official. A U.S. official and a Rwandan official both confirmed the active talks about sending third-country deportees from U.S. soil to the east African nation. 

Rwanda, we feel sure, would be an unpleasant destination for any such deportees; it's a fair bet that Rwandan prisons lack most of the, shall we say, amenities of American prisons. No libraries, no gyms, and no basketball courts - for starters.

The administration has apparently approached several nations to discuss warehousing these bad actors.

During a televised Cabinet meeting event earlier this week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was actively searching for other countries to take in migrants expelled from the U.S. 

"We are working with other countries to say, 'We want to send you some of the most despicable human beings,'" he said while sitting alongside President Trump. Rubio added that the "further away from America, the better."

Rwanda, of course, has been involved in a long-term conflict with the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo,

The United States is also working on brokering an end to that conflict; President Trump's special envoy to Africa, Massad Boulos, has been in the region dickering for a ceasefire with both nations.

The interesting question is who would be the deportees in any such deal. Presumably, any illegal alien criminal to be sent to Rwanda would be from Africa or possibly the Middle East, and there are probably plenty of people in both categories, given that the United States may be carrying around as many as 20 million illegal aliens.

Rwanda could also use the American dollars that we would presumably pay for keeping these people far from our shores. With a population of around 14 million and a per capita GDP of only a little over a thousand U.S. dollars, Rwanda is a poor nation even by African standards. Only 34 percent of the Rwandan people have internet access, and, unlike many other African nations, Rwanda is on the poor side with regards to mineral wealth. The one thing Rwanda appears to have going for it is its claim to be the least corrupt nation in Africa - that, mind you, is setting the bar pretty low.

Most of America's 20 million illegal aliens, of course, will be repatriated. They are citizens of various other nations, and they will go back to where they rightfully belong. But gang-bangers, cartel operatives, drug and human smugglers; these are people we don't want sneaking back in. The Trump administration has patently hit on the solution of warehousing them in other countries. The legal challeges are still going on, and any such deal with Rwanda will, no doubt, spark more.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
