The guy is now up on 3 charges.  Bringing the gun to a protest is automatically an arrest in that area.

Im drinking Red Bull Sugar Free while MHMING and I want to tell everybody! Don't talk to me until I finish my Red Bull Sugar Free!

Also want to tell everybody, all your illegal scab laborers are going back and theres absolutely nothing you can about it. No matter how much you whine and scream, youre going to have to pay the people who mow your lawn, cook your food, pick your kale and do all other unskilled manual labor minimum wage or higher.

More importantly, youre ideals are not going to get anywhere near political power ever again in your lifetime. Before 2016 the Democratic party lost large amounts of its previous youth vote margine:

In addition Generation Z, which will be voting age by 2020 leans right.

Your ideals are about to get completely rejected by society. America is going to have a border. You are on the wrong side of history.

Being serious, this is fascinating for a couple of a reason. First off you just assume that no one will look up when the policy of family seperation started(and why: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-obama-administration-children-human-traffickers/ ), second that anyone would see this argument as coming from some kind of position of moral authority and not butthurt desperation. Obama seperates families for two years, nothing, then two years into Trump doing it, just in time for midterms this policy is LITERALLY HITLER. Third, and this is the best part, the idea that people wont remember this blatant lying and hold it against you.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/toddler-cage-photo/

And of course, thats totally your main issue with Trumps border policy, right? Youre totally cool now that he signed that executive order ending it. Its not that you think completely unrestricted mass migration benefits you economically and politically and want it to continue. Youre just thinking of the children. Wont anyone please think of the children!?

Ok, Obama started the child concentration camps. He is irredeemable. Trump continued it and as such is irredeemable. Sure Obama played the political game, while trump sends his idiot trophy wife to the camp with a plackard on her back saying "I revel in human misery". Hes as bad if not worse because the only reason he did that was to be petulant over the fact that no one will ever give him the money to build his wall.

Even if you think borders should be closed entirely, trying to do so by sacrificing the little good you had left is unjustifiable and weak. You have as a nation sold yourselves low, your brittle spirits have brought you to this place and I dont think you realise the consequences

I thought they were detainment centers.  Isn't referring to them as concentration camps or gulags along the lines of the argumentative technique (I forget what its called) of saying "when did you stop beating your wife?"

I doubt these children are performing forced labor and are likely not starving or being gassed - but nothing surprises me lately.

Its a derogatory term, though the detainment centers for the japanese in the 40s were about as close as it gets to concentration camps. Wasnt there even experimentation on prisoners?

A detainment facility crosses into the dark territory when children are harmed though, war crimes and all that

They are by definition concentration camps.  You are taking an identifiable group, and detaining them together for being members of that identifiable group.

All death camps are concentration camps.  Not all concentration camps are death camps.

I'd argue that calling them "detainment facilities" is sanitizing the situation.

It's not about Mexicans, really, and it's certainly not about "illegal aliens".  It's mostly aimed at asylum seeking families, because Trump and Miller don't want brown people moving here.  This was more or less stated back in January of 2017.

So much is about language- are they illegal aliens or undocumented immigrants?

I agree what you mean about concentration camps except the term has become tainted and you can't really say it without invoking thoughts of Nazis and holocaust which I think is the intent.

I believe the Trump administration began enforcing child separation to get press exposure and try to force congress to do something about it.

I have yet to hear answer as to why all these asylum seekers go right past the 7 US consulatez/embassies in Mexico (not counting the three on the border) where they could request asylum and instead go right to the border and, I presume, request asylum after they get caught.

When I say "concentration camps", I mean concentration camps.  If I thought they were death camps, I would use THAT term, as it is far more harsh.

QuoteI believe the Trump administration began enforcing child separation to get press exposure and try to force congress to do something about it.

There was nothing to enforce.  Child separation was only a matter of law if there was demonstratable risk to the child or a guardian wasn't present (ie, a kid came on his/her own looking for asylum).  What Trump does that neither Clinton nor Bush nor Obama did was to take children from their guardians, barring those conditions.

QuoteI have yet to hear answer as to why all these asylum seekers go right past the 7 US consulatez/embassies in Mexico (not counting the three on the border) where they could request asylum and instead go right to the border and, I presume, request asylum after they get caught.

Because for some of these people, the penalty for trying and failing is death.  Particularly in Guatemala and Honduras.  Until now, coming in somewhere other than a checkpoint looking for asylum has not even been a misdemeanor.

In the end, it comes down to this:  Either you are for hair-shirt punishment techniques or you are not.

What's really grotesque about this is that there is no undocumented immigrant crisis.  From 1998 to 2016, the number of undocumented aliens dropped from 12.6 million to 11.3 million, in a population of 326 million.  Immigrants are far less likely to commit crimes than people born and raised here. This "crisis" is strictly racism and a base-rallying cry from the far right.

Well, yes.  It is not at all unreasonable to put a 3 year old in court without the presence of a parent, or even notifying the parents that the hearing is to take place.

Fun question:  If a child were to be found against, how do you deport an unaccompanied 3 year old, when you have lost track of who the kid is and who his family is?

I've already seen a meme complaining that we're spending X per month dollars on an immigrant, while people on Social Security are only getting Y dollars per month. The meme wasn't explicitly for or against immigrant detainment, but it wasn't exactly complaining about the private prison system, either.


Something, something... Immigrants. Something something... Social Security. It wasn't complex.

This came from, like, one of my favorite aunts, who is still working a few years after full retirement age, but we're not sure if it's because she needs the money, or if she is just avoiding her family. SAD!

And then, consider the issue of children of people who went to fight for ISIS.  What to do with children of foreign fighters, how best to deradicalize and reintegrate them into society, is a big issue currently being discussed in terrorism policy circles.

Children are going to be locked up at Guantanamo Bay, under Trump.  Count on it.  Thankfully the number of US foreign fighters in Syria is pretty low...

Its a derogatory term, though the detainment centers for the japanese in the 40s were about as close as it gets to concentration camps. Wasnt there even experimentation on prisoners?

A detainment facility crosses into the dark territory when children are harmed though, war crimes and all that

Just happy to remind you all of the following:

Particularly the "non-consensual" section as it gives a likely taste of the future.

I know these threads aren't really for practical punching back at the Horrible Truth, but if you're in Massachusetts there's local stuff I need to ask you to do.

Call your State Rep and State Senator and ask them to strongly support Amendment 1147 to the budget. These are 4 key provisions from the Safe Communities act: informing immigrants they have due process rights in our state; ending police being deputized by ICE on the state tax dime; preventing police from asking about immigration status when someone has been the victim of or witness to a crime; and preventing Mass from ever participating in a Muslim registry. It's not controversial, the chiefs of police association signed off on all this shit. Get your reps enthusiastically on board.

Next, call Charlie Baker's office and make his aides rue the day they accepted that position. Fuckwad wants to line item veto this shit. Yap their ears off. Make them sick of the sound of your voice.

Babies in cages is good misery porn, but if you wanna save someone we have to start within the state borders. The feds ain't on our side anymore, we have to save ourselves.

Totally forseeable, but since it won't happen to white Americans, the GOP, and a sizeable amount of the Democrats, won't give a shit.

The ACLU also says that only 38 children will be reunited with their families in time for the deadline set by Trump's executive order.  Questionable whether that's due to incompetence or deliberate foot-dragging, but it's probably a little bit of both.  And lets recall, this an executive order, so a future President (or Trump in a fit of dementia) could easily rescind it without Congressional oversight.

It's springtime for Miller

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/now-trump-administration-wants-limit-citizenship-legal-immigrants-n897931

QuoteThe Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming weeks that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public welfare programs, including Obamacare, four sources with knowledge of the plan told NBC News.

The move, which would not need congressional approval, is part of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller's plan to limit the number of migrants who obtain legal status in the U.S. each year.

Details of the rulemaking proposal are still being finalized, but based on a recent draft seen last week and described to NBC News, immigrants living legally in the U.S. who have ever used or whose household members have ever used Obamacare, children's health insurance, food stamps and other benefits could be hindered from obtaining legal status in the U.S.

Immigration lawyers and advocates and public health researchers say it would be the biggest change to the legal immigration system in decades and estimate that more than 20 million immigrants could be affected. They say it would fall particularly hard on immigrants working jobs that don't pay enough to support their families.

Aren't ex post facto penalties awesome?

I know the constitutional authors hated the idea of ex post facto punishments (I saw some of Jefferson's writings on the topic), but isn't there also an issue that enrolment in healthcare was mandatory under the Affordable Care Act?  So in effect you're not only imposing punishments on something that wasn't illegal before, but was in fact legally required?

I don't think there's even a legal term for that.  These people are vicious, without doubt, but they are also the biggest pack of cretins I have had the misfortune to watch in real time.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/09/us/asylum-judge-deported.html

QuoteAs a federal judge heard arguments on Thursday seeking to halt the deportations of several Central American women requesting asylum, he learned that a woman and her daughter at the center of the case had been ushered from a Texas shelter, driven to an airport and put on a plane to El Salvador. The judge ordered the government to bring the two back immediately.

The judge, Emmet G. Sullivan of the District of Columbia, criticized the government for deporting the pair just as they were seeking justice in court. In ordering the government to undo the deportation, he threatened to hold government officials, from Attorney General Jeff Sessions on down, in contempt, said a lawyer for the plaintiffs.

QuoteAccording to the A.C.L.U., Carmen's husband had regularly raped, stalked and threatened to kill her for two decades. But she never reported him to the police in El Salvador, having seen other women do so only to be killed by their husbands in retaliation. After she left her husband, taking her daughter with her, she claimed gang members in town targeted her as a single mother, threatening to kill her and her daughter unless she paid them a monthly sum.

Detainees are fine until you have too many to manage, right?  And you can't stop detaining more, or you admit that maybe you shouldn't have detained any of them.

Then they become a drag on resources.  Fortunately, by that point they're nice and forgotten and dehumanized by being a faceless horde in camps.  Which we associate with jails, inmates of which we have been conditioned to think of as less than people by 100+ years of our prison system.

Then, one day, you just sort of stop hearing about them.

Best way to ensure human rights groups can't keep track of what is going on, or document cases of abuse.  Move detainees every few months, put them in hard to access locations.  Once things get settled...move them again.

So everyone just sits still while they finish rebuilding the guilded age, ensuring that resources go to Quality People.

We could have just the wealthiest ten thousand or so be "citizens", and everyone else can just be "subjects"!

Technically yes, but you wouldn't believe the amount of sites that behave as if they were kneecapped when you have a VPN on.

GDPR protects individual rights to their own data so I think it would be vpn agnostic, the websites themselves though don't like you using a vpn because anonymous data cant be monetised.

Militias murder half a dozen people on average in Chochise county AZ alone.  In one case, they walked into a border town on the US side, started screeching about sex camps, and murdered a man and his young daughter inside their home.  Their actual motive was robbery to finance their activities (which are of course "banditry").  The sole survivor of the attack was the girl's mother, who was wounded while exchanging gunfire with the "militia".

One particularly telling bit is this:

QuoteCBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan testified before Congress on Tuesday that the border stations were not built to handle children. In November, over 25,000 immigrants crossed as part of a family with children and over 5,200 children crossed without a guardian.

"Our infrastructure is incompatible with this reality. Our border patrol stations and ports of entry were built to mostly handle male single adults in custody. Not families or children," said McAleenan.

But what happened is this:  Some half-trained jackass didn't feel like dealing with a puking kid.  So the kid died.

This.

Systemic and organized child abuse networks do exist, but they don't operate by slinging babies out the back of pizza parlors. They're much more likely to be attached to schools, orphanages, daycare centers, and the occasional nonprofit organization like Boys Town. They choose places where people are putting Authority and Trust over children and where a high-traffic of children coming in and going out will not be noticed. Even among organized crime syndicates child abuse as described in 'pizzagate' is fairly rare. Many criminals were themselves abused as children and the opportunity to assault or kill a chomo is a very tempting one. Pizzagate is sensationalist garbage intended from the beginning to be a political tool. Everything I've read about it points to it as bullshit fiction. Eris unless you have some piece of shocking first-hand knowledge that I have not seen then I must inform you you are falling for a sham.

Oh, for fuck's sake.  Comet Pizza doesn't even have a basement.  The entire thing is bullshit.

This.

Systemic and organized child abuse networks do exist, but they don't operate by slinging babies out the back of pizza parlors. They're much more likely to be attached to schools, orphanages, daycare centers, and the occasional nonprofit organization like Boys Town. They choose places where people are putting Authority and Trust over children and where a high-traffic of children coming in and going out will not be noticed. Even among organized crime syndicates child abuse as described in 'pizzagate' is fairly rare. Many criminals were themselves abused as children and the opportunity to assault or kill a chomo is a very tempting one. Pizzagate is sensationalist garbage intended from the beginning to be a political tool. Everything I've read about it points to it as bullshit fiction. Eris unless you have some piece of shocking first-hand knowledge that I have not seen then I must inform you you are falling for a sham.

Nowdays, they mostly get jobs at ICE baby jails.  No shit.

It really pisses me off that this sort of shit is still part of the reporting:
Quoteroughly 300,000 immigrants living in the country illegally could be affected by the expansion, according to one estimate by the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.

Because any sane person should know that it is not only "immigrants living in the country illegally" that are directly affected by this. Anyone at all can be targeted, legal or not, citizen or not. The fact that this is already possible within 100 miles of any border is already bad enough (and of course perfectly unreported), but this expansion of the policies to the entire country and the explosion of the time threshold to 2 years instead of 2 weeks should have us all burning shit to the ground. And here's the news, still talking about this as if "illegal immigrants" are still the only target.

I am pretty sure you and I are on the same page. More or less on the lines of eugenics as a proactive approach to crime management. Nazi Germany meets Big Data. Maybe you have worse ideas, but there are shades of badness and that's close to the worse end of things.

The thing is, that sort of deal is all over the Trump admin's propaganda already. Trump his own stupid self has said things in that neighborhood. I'm not worried about it possibly happening, because I'm 100% certain it will go down that route if not actively prevented, and I'm pretty sure that they'll do everything they can to entrench it in there firmly.

QuoteBOSTON (AP) — A top federal immigration official said Wednesday that he takes responsibility for and regrets how the Trump administration's now rescinded decision to stop considering requests from immigrants seeking to defer deportation for medical treatment and other hardships played out.

Acting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli told congressional lawmakers he was solely responsible for the widely criticized Aug. 7 policy change.

He deflected pointed questions from Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts about whether the directive came from Trump or prominent members of the Republican president's White House staff.

Trump found someone still willing to take a bullet for him:

Quote"I made this decision alone," Cuccinelli responded during his House Oversight Committee testimony.

QuoteThere is no uniformed security guard at the entrance.

They sleep two to a room, and are free to wander in a large, outdoor area, or "shop" in a store filled with donated items. Case workers hustle to reunite them with family in the U.S. quickly, averaging four weeks. And costs to taxpayers are a third of the $775 per day costs at large, emergency shelters where kids sleep 100 to a room.

It's still a prison. For children. Who have committed no crime.

I hope Pergamos is just unaware of how bad the described living conditions are from a real-world standpoint, lest I need to be restrained from internet access. For a year or so. At least.

I have lived the upscale version of these conditions. Waking up with unknown and unknowable sores and rashes every day. Washing clothes only when they're visibly dirty because you don't have the ability to actually clean anything or keep enough stuff for more than a single change of clothes. Insects. So many insects. Even in the cold. Especially in the cold, because you are the warmest thing around. Giving up on keeping them away from you because it's like staying dry while wading in the ocean.

Again: this was the upscale version. We could use public toilets, and sometimes even shower. We had real food, sometimes. We even had privacy, most of the time.

This is not an improvement over what we had before.

It's a different kind of bad. That's the best you can say.

I'm not.  I've been homeless.  In the US, so I expect I had it a bit better than they do,  I would still choose it over prison any day, and the prison that refugees are being put in is WAY worse than regular prison.  Admittedly I haven't been in prison, it might be nicer than I think.

I've been to prison.

It's a different kind of bad. Some places I've been homeless have been far worse. Some were better.

Ever see someone line themselves up to be sued literally for the rest of their lives?  You have now.

It's for the Mission, Howl! For the Crusade! For the Cause!

They'll go down crying about how they're martyrs while trust fund idiots fund their lawyers, who inevitably fail to stop their clients from making things worse for themselves.

Inevitably, criminal liability will be found. This is the decade of autodefenestration and denial, nor are we out of it.

It's fucking amazing, really.  They are violating local, state, and federal laws, pissing on a treaty, and operating without a permit.

The last one is the important bit.  The construction contractor's insurance will smile at them, come lawsuit time.  The other OTHER kinda smile.  The smile that says "You're on your own."

Sort of good news.

The bad part of it is, this had to be argued.

So... We backed a coup in Venezuela and now some of the folks we suckered in are sitting in our concentration camps waiting to be let in?

Is that what's going on?

Seriously, I have no idea what's going on in Venezuela. All I know is my superevangelical (South/Central American Missionary/Spanish teacher)"friend" (I don't like him) from WAAAAAAYYYYYY back (we went to the same church and same elementary/middle school together and were in the same grade. (He's a sociopath)) totally supports the definitely not USA supported coup that is apparently not doing well. He thinks it's just like that time us Christmericans threw off our Satanic British oppressors to become The Great and Powerful Holy American Empire, and that the Venezuelans should gather up their Holy Messiah blessed Uzis AKs, SKSs, and ARs and blow away their unholy Satanic (Bernie Sanders, Hillary, etc...) communist oppressors, and become Superjustified/Extrasanctified Heroes like us. AMEN!

It's ok to clean your greasy asshole with the principles of Westphalian sovereignty as long as there needs to be a "human rights intervention" by the self designated "world police" and there's oil involved... it's fine and profitable as long as everyone else gets to pay the bill - just like in any and all enterprises where the profit is personal and the costs are socialized. Sound familiar?

The longer you make them sit in concentration camps, the easier it will be to recruit them into rightwing death squads to help overthrow the country's leadership.
