WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.

      The definition of a concentration camp is: “a place in which large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities”.

      They are concentration camps. Calling them “migrant detention facilities” does not change their function. It also does not change the fact that the US has been forcefully sterilising women in them either.

        “If families were detained, they would be held for short periods of time, perhaps just a few days, and their cases expedited through immigration court”

        Not concentration camps. You don’t get to leave a concentration camp after having your day in court. Are detention centers ideal? No. But neither is leaving people in the desert without food, water, or shelter, (or worse, leaving them prey to local vigilantes).

        Yes, the Trump administration was keeping people in horrific conditions, forcibly sterilizing women, and separating children from their parents without cause and without tracking. If you have some specific evidence that those abuses continue to this day under the Biden administration, please feel free to share.

          55 days is the average amount of time people spend there. This is not a “small amount of time”.

          Stop replying to me. I don’t want to hear this apologism for literal concentration camps anymore. Get a grip. You’re defending the fact that one third of these people are literal children getting locked up for 2 months at a time as if that’s normal, fine and good. If you were a German in Nazi germany you would have defended your government every single step of the way.

          If you want to learn about the abuses LOOK IT UP, it is nobody’s responsibility to educate you. You know how to use google.

          Now stop responding to me with concentration camp denial.
