    Something I've not seen discussed really is the possible weaponization of our humanitarian policies. They are stopping well over 100,000 people a MONTH, and it's to a point that we can't handle it. Its something that's clearly being organized. People have been caught with scripts for what to say, there's logistics and organization from outside sources and I would like to who they are and their motivations.

    For what? Employing a colorful metaphor?

    You can't possibly take that as a serious threat.

    You serious? Fine, then I know where the line is drawn. I know how to behave.

    I think something is being lost in the translation here. While @Diacanu certainly dodged your question (which is unfortunate), that is far removed from any threat of violence as saying that you exploded in laughter.

    Wasn't my question. If it was, my response to that piss-liberal clown would've been much, much worse.

    Unless @Diacanu really is a wizard and has the ability to inflict pain with psychic powers, I don't see a plausible threat.

    It's not as if he threatened to track anyone down and confront them IRL.

    You should continue to feel free to make jokes, as long as they are clearly friendly?

    Got it, I should feel free to make friendly jokes, while others are entitled to post about punching other people in the face.

    No, seriously...

    So it's semantics. Okay. Forget I said "illegally" cross the border. If any asylum seekers cross the border anywhere other than through a port of entry, they get bussed to the port of entry and put at the back of the line. :shrug:

    Ok, that is no violation of human rights. But I'm still not sure why #3 is there at all. Is it an advantage of any kind? What you're calling a point of entry here is where an asylum seeker can get a hearing; that's usually just called a court of law. Is there an advantage to taking a person who, say, crosses the border somewhere in the South, to the nearest border town with an entry point rather than just the next courthouse, assuming that the latter might sometimes be closer?

    On the face of it, the advantage is that we regain some control of our border and make the asylum process more orderly and efficient. If you read between the lines, it's throwing a bone to right wingers in order to get them on board.

    So what's the difference between a concentration camp and a refugee camp?

    One is run by a Democrat.

    One is run by a Republican.

    Really that's what it comes down too. So you get people like Amaris quoting assholes like Pitzer who are only complaining because the current camp is under a Republican administration. It's just another "all people on the right are Nazis" that we see the left constantly pushing.

    Texas monthly is reporting conditions are like a dog pound.
    https://www.texasmonthly.com/news/border-patrol-outdoor-detention-migrants-el-paso/

    Rosendorf described it as “a human dog pound”—one hundred to 150 men behind a chain-link fence, huddled beneath makeshift shelters made from mylar blankets and whatever other scraps they could find to shield themselves from the heat of the sun.


    “They told me they’ve been incarcerated outside for a month, that they haven’t washed or been able to change the clothes they were detained in the entire time, and that they’re being poorly fed and treated in general.”

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection took eight days to respond to Texas Monthly’s questions about Rosendorf’s discovery. In a statement this week, a CBP official acknowledged that the agency was detaining migrants outdoors for extended periods.

    Is this fake news?

    https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/...-mother-separated-from-daughter-at-the-border

    After Jessica and her daughter, Rosalinda, were detained, they were driven to a place called the hielera, the document states. "Hielera" translates into English as "cooler" or "freezer."


    Officials then put her and her daughter in a "very dirty cell," where the floors were covered in food, spilled water and juice, and was so crowded that the pair had to spend the night standing up, according to the document.

    Jessica was interviewed the next night, during which an immigration official asked her, "Don't you know that we will take your daughter?" the declaration states.

    "I told him that he could not take my daughter," Jessica states in the document. "He laughed at me and said, 'Dont you know the law?'"

    According to the definition I posted above, refugee camps are explicitly excluded from being concentration camps.

    Long thread, and frankly hard to believe, but it seems to have some corroboration above. Utterly sickening if even half true.
