Texas town denounces 'twisted and shameful' camp for migrant children

Ask the Japanese "Americans" how thing went when FDR rounded them and put them in relocation camps. US citizens grabbed for no reason. You have a very selective outrage. And it's all aimed at the Trump administration all the time.

The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II was the forced relocation and incarceration in camps in the western interior of the country of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific coast.

And it’s generally considered a pretty terrible thing that we did. What’s your point? We did something as bad or worse 80 years ago, so any complaints about what’s happening now is “selective outrage”?

March yourself down there and ask them in person. "Do you want to be here or with your parents?"

And before you scream illegals, requesting asylum at Ports of Entry (any ingress or egress crossing) is neither illegal nor a crime.

And people who presented themselves at the port of entry were NOT separated from their family.
 
I'm not even sure I would call these guys children. These are only males who claim to be 16/17 years of age.

Well, they can always be put on a flight back to whichever country their parents illegally brought them to ours from. That's a fair option.

May seem fair to you but not legal under US law, which allows them to apply for asylum. What they did was not illegal, it was the responsible thing to do for many of them. It is then the US's obligation to sort out who was right or wrong legally in making the decision to flee. A few words in defense of camps. If the administration had set up these camps, adequately staffed by medical and psych personnel, legal help, with reasonable access to the media, committed to processing potential refugees legally, etc., there should be little protest over restricting their movement while that goes on.

Here is an image of the 2014 unaccompanied minors border cisis.

What do you all think how many of them claimed to be under 18?

My friends in Sweden suffered from that same (age) ruse with the influx of imports there.
 
Shouldn’t we instead be focusing on the punishment to be given to the leaders of Mexico and the rest of South America who’ve made it so bad for these people, that these camps, as horrible as they look, are a paradise to refugees and they keep coming. The anger is seriously misplaced, and certainly feels (mis)guided. I really don’t understand how one could blame us, and in the same breath support trade with Mexico knowing just how bad their government treats their people. Shame on us for sure, for allowing them to continue their cruelty.

How should we punish them. Keep in mind.....China would LOVE to have Mexico as an ally

Except those children after being thrown in those horror internment camps like unto the Jews by the Nazi Obama administration (do I have the rhetoric right?) were later released into this country, just as the catch and release policy did the same with families.

Oh the horror of letting children into this country who are coming from the most violent countries in the world!

We should just annex their ****hole countries...right?

You ready to save the world?

Oh yes, because the logical next step after taking in refugees is annexing their countries.

Why not? Seriously? I mean...wouldnt it be more effective than just letting their entire country into the US because their countries are such ****holes?

Maybe we should REALLY help them out and send them to Sweden...Norway...some of those homogeneous leftist Utopias.

That's a picture of Central American migrants, taken in Ixtepec, Mexico.
 
Don't come here illegally and don't send or bring your children. Some are getting the message and that's a good thing.

Couple hundred of these (illegal ones) sent back south across the border in the last day or so here in San Diego. A good message sent (don't come.)

We house a lot of these children nearby me here in El Cajon California. Cost each day per child to United States taxpayer approximately $775.

Apparently they are eating well?

On TV they showed the brand new pool tables and all of the toys and things and clothing -- not bad.

Which we also did to Germans and Italians. Japan is an ethnostate, and so the fears of political leaders were not overblown, let’s remember only Japanese living in areas committed to the war against Japan were interned. Japanese Americans were allowed to join the service against Germany and Japanese living on the Atlantic Coast were unaffected. Also the inconvenience to the Japanese Americans was nothing compared to how the IJA treated non Japanese in their occupied territories
