Your explanation makes more sense, but that’s not what was said and not what I was responding to.
Im sorry you can’t fathom that.
And many (some here, but mostly news reporters) have compared the holding facilities itself to concentration camps, not even mentioning the separation process, but comparing the facility to Nazi germany. They really need a history lesson if they think that’s what a concentration camp was like.
Those camps were probably the worst thing any group of people suffered through in the last 500 years. And there’s been a lot of horrible things in this world.www.myspace.com0 -
Thirty Bills Unpaid said:The attitude is what is being discussed. This regime sees those seeking asylum as sub-human.
The Holocaust didn't start one day with mass deportations and executions. There were many small steps that took place prior to the climax- all
involving the dehumanization of the people being persecuted.
I'm sorry you have challenges understanding these parallels that are very legitimate, but hey... America is being made great again! I think I more clearly know which era McDonald meant and which era his idiot supporters understood now.
I guess everybody should shut up and let things take their course eh?
F**king disgraceful. Shame.
If anybody in here supports this bullshit, go fuck yourself0 -
mcgruff10 said:some interesting things I just read/learned https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/separating-families-illegal-immigrants-trump-immigration-zero-tolerance-asylum/ :
The Los Angeles Times reports that Rio Grande Valley border agents prosecuted 568 adults and separated 1,174 children since the administration announced its "zero tolerance" policy in early April. However, it only took a matter of hours to reunite more than a third of these children with their parents.
Another fact conveniently overlooked amid all the hysteria is that just because a group claims to be a family, doesn't mean it's true. The Department of Homeland Security says that from October 2017 to February 2018 it saw "a 315% increase in the number of cases with minors fraudulently posing as 'family units' to gain entry."
1/3 reunified is something to celebrate?
This is abusive, traumatic, moronic, ignorant, disgusting, and fucking evil.
Anybody in here that supports this, in any way, let me say this clearly, take a long walk off a short pier

RoleModelsinBlood31 said:I’m hearing massively different descriptions of the places where these kids are being held. In some sources they talk about them watching World Cup games on big flatscreen tv’s, playing foosball and pool. There’s tons of people taking care of the kids and the kids are having fun. In others they are concentration camps and in horrid conditions? Does anyone know what is really happening?

Don't worry guys, this is like going to a scary movie. The kids will get over it.
Plus, the toddlers can watch the world Cup. Who needs a mom and dad when you have that? How bad could it be?0 -
I think the program should be expanded to include all Americans returning to a port of entry. Separate the kids from the adults until such time as their true identity can be ascertained. Don’t want any child traffickers and trafficked children entering the country nor folks coming in with false identities. Some could be gang bangers.

I find it completely absurd that our government can so easily separate children from parents and family, but we can't find a way to separate guns and unlawful gun owners or enforce the policies to decrease gun violence. Nice that it's so easy to differentiate enforcing some policies to a "t", but others there's just no solution and nothing can be done. We value a gun more than children. Nice job America.It's a hopeless situation...0

Because the half of my family that was forcefully removed from theirs homes, herded onto cattle cars, taken to the camps, separated from each other, then walked into the "showers" and then shoveled into mass graves were all criminals.
I should've known that a person who believes in "white genocide" would be smart enough to figure it out.
And clearly you don't see the difference, nobody is rounding up those crossing the southern border out of their homes. So yeah the comparison is ridiculous.
But the point is that parents and children are being separated and the kids are being kept in what are essentially prisons and are being irreparably harmed by the US government. And no, the comparison is not ridiculous. The Nazis took kids away from their parents without telling them when they'd see each other again, and then warehousing the children, and the US government is doing the exact same thing. That is an apt comparison. Just because the US isn't then murdering them all doesn't mean comparisons can't still be made.

What I did say is how bad of a comparison this is to Jewish children in concentration camps.
i have a problem separating these kids when they are not united within a few hours.
i also have a problem comparing this to Nazi concentration camps and saying this is just the first step towards Nazi Germany.
Tell the story like it is, talk about how inhumane it is, how scared the kids are. But don’t compare it to the murder of 6 million people and the harsh labor camps of millions more.0 -

OK, it is not something on the grand scale of horrors like Dachau, but it is right in the same vein of brutal and twisted thinking that the Nazi movement was all about and making the comparison at that level is, to many of us, justifiable. And it's happening here, in the land of the "free"."Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor, I'll piss on themThat's what the Statue of Bigotry saysYour poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to deathAnd get it over with and just dump them on the boulevard."Lou Reed, "Dirty Blvd."
