The illegal immigrant detention centres are NOT "concentration camps" Helen You appear to be using Nazi terminology to make an emotive allegation. Godwin's law is suspended. By Godwin. Link (contains mild swearing). As for these camps, they do fit the definition of concentration camps (they concentrate a specific group of people). What they are not, is what the Nazis had - extermination camps. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Godwin hasn't changed his mind since last year https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/godwins-law-mike-godwin-internet-hitler-charlottesville-virginia-donald-trump-a7892171.html 'Detention centres' that separate families, keep children in cages and deny basic dignity and human rights to captives are different than concentration camps only in the name. You probably want to say they're not death camps, but by the way things are lately, it's just media silence that prevents concentration from taking deadly turn. 55 minutes ago, RoofGardener said: "sold into adoption" ? In what way does the US adoption service "sell" children into adoption ? Each that is not strictly non-profit and can prove it. 55 minutes ago, RoofGardener said: Again, we have these emotive labels. What would you say about the practice of detaining suspected criminal offenders pending investigation ? Because that is what is happening. No, it's not what is happening. The particular migration is usual practice, supported by US employers, so first you detain US employers, keep them in the same conditions the migrants are kept, then see who's even crossing the border. Ah, but Americans won't work in the field for low wages. You can't treat them like **** because they're illegals. Obviously, your economy, based on greed, creates the migrant problem that won't be solved with excessive cruelty. People will keep coming, because they need any kind of job, psychopaths will keep mistreating them and all will be well, as long as we pretend brown people are criminals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How's that cognitive dissonance holding up for you? Setton was bashing white English men & woman only. Edited June 25, 2018 by Ellapennella 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
