...like it or not, dictionaries. Well, Trump went a step further and separated children from their parents. Does that count?
Again.....using magic words to detract from the issue. So reverse Trump's shit policy of separating kids from parents. Where does that leave us? Families detained together in facilities. Is the answer to build more facilities or solve the problem?
I'm not defending either side. But a de facto concentration camp is a concentration camp whoever is or was behind it. It is what it is. I consulted a few dictionaries, all magic-free.
You're being culturally insensitive. Wallet told me we have to change the definition of words to spare people's feeling due to connotation or some such thing
12 million people beg to differ, let's leave it at that because a dictionary, i.e. an edited book and there are various dictionaries out there, is not the factual answer.
Obama's minor detention centers were for unaccompanied minors and those in serious need of separation due to serious criminal activity from their parents side. Please stop spreading this BS that it was the same policy under Obama (right wing narrative)
You are defending Obama because you never spoke out about it in 2014. Detention centers go back to Clinton even and way before him. AOC uses the word concentration camp and NOW these centers are horrible. Where was the outrage before Trump started separating children. Why is it ok for detention centers as long as families are kept together. Show me something in writing where AOC wrote about how horrible the detention center system was in all the years she tended bar. Let's face it, Dems are being as big a hypocrite as GOP on this issue.
Dude you know I am not a right winger but ust because Trump pulled a dick move to separate children does not mean there were no detention centers used before hand. 2014 - The Obama administration resumes practice of family detention in response to increase of unaccompanied minors, women and child migrants from Central America. 2002 - Guantanamo Bay U.S. military prison established in Cuba; the base had previously been used as an immigration detention site from the 1970s-90s to detain Cubans and Haitians. 1991 - The United States opens an immigration detention facility, the Migrant Operations Center, at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Before this naval base was used to hold prisoners of war indefinitely as part of the “War on Terror,” this facility was used to hold asylum seekers and refugees. 1987 - GEO Group wins its first federal government contract for the Aurora Detention Facility in Colorado, an immigration detention facility. 1985 - CCA’s second facility opens in Laredo, Texas, and is the first immigration detention facility to detain infants and children.
No, I'm not. It just don't recall it coming up for discussion in this forum. I think the child separation thing is what brought the matter over the edge and to everyone's attention. Again, circumstances don't change the legitimate definition of a word.
