Could the reason for using Guantanamo and the military(planes and service members)is to avoid trying to get $ to do these things?

The Administration is definitely looking at the military as a pot of money to fund their immigration priorities, since it looks like Congress won't be fast-tracking any immigration appropriations as part of a two-bill reconciliation strategy. That's a possible reason for detaining them on a military base, but not for picking Guantanamo rather than a domestic military facility. Almost any domestic military facility would be closer and less jurisdictionally complicated that handling immigration detainees in Cuba, and I would think that one of the larger bases in Texas (like Fort Cavazos) would have enough space to accommodate a new detention facility.
