first of all OUR jails are probably more humane/better than the hotel systems in many county's....
surely you must realize that political rhetoric is just that..a means to get at people emotions..
Edward Bernays discovered years and years ago that humans are in fact irrational and can be led and made to think just about anything..he disdainfully called this tactic "manufacturing consent"....


as a left leaning person i simply recognize the harm historically that has been done by pointing to ANY minority group and wish to point this out ...at this point having learned that for-profit companies are involved with these "detainment center"
i am interested in what POLITICAL connections these people have..
i myself dont listen to anybody who gets on the proverbial soapbox and gives speeches

Some idiot mouth breathing brain damaged twit on the left actually said that. That's their excuse. "They aren't being killed, we aren't talking about extermination camps, we're talking about concentration camps..."

For all the screeching they do about Nazis and Hitler and accusing everyone of being such, you would think they would know a little bit more about Nazis and Hitler and everything that went with it.
Yup. They're trying to "defend" her idiocy by drawing a distinction between a Nazi death camp and a Nazi concentration camp. Besides the fact that many died in concentration camps from disease and starvation, the PURPOSE of the concentration camps was the support of the death camps: to exterminate all of Europe's Jews.

Can you imagine the uproar if someone actually DID compare the treatment of slaves to the treatment of these migrants (who are free to leave anytime they wish)? We would hear (correctly) that to even attempt to draw a parallel is an insult....worse than an insult. And yet, liberals (it's exclusively liberals) are pushing back HARD against Jews who are insulted by such the outrageous comparison to Nazi concentration camps.

Some of these people are fleeing conditions we cannot even fathom. There is no need to separate kids from the parents seeking amnesty. It is cruel, unnecessary & not what this country stands for. The cruel responses from angry people disgust me. BOO HOO is how many people feel when it is someone else in this situation but, boy would that change if they had to face what some of those trying to escape have. These are kids don't forget that.

Or would that comparison be.....oh, I don't know....AN INSULT?? Perhaps INSENSITIVE to the suffering of slaves?


Does Anyone Here Think the Migrants in Facilities Have it as Bad as the Slaves Did?
No, the slaves did not have the option to go back home.

What cruel responses? Pointing out that going an overnight without toothpaste is not as bad as being marched into the gas chamber?

Stay on topic, or this thread will end up merged. The point is: comparing detained migrants (who came voluntarily) to slaves is just as abhorrent as comparing them to Nazi-era Jews in concentration camps. Yet for some reason, liberals are not making the slavery comparison, and why? Because it would be insulting to black people! Just as the other comparison is insulting to Jews. And yet, when I as a Jew have objected to the comparison, I have been met with the most vile language you can imagine.

I hope the loons on the far left are stupid enough to draw such a comparison. Being blasted by the masses might shut them up for a while.

Except they won't. They realize how insulting that would be to black people.

Did the 2 months-old commit a crime ?
