And today, it's the MAGA Trump camp that would want to do this. TODAY, Dems aren't the ones wanting to round people up. They aren't the ones stoking fears in white America about the replacement theory, or how MX is sending over rapists and murderers. |
You are lying. Why were Japanese Americans interned during World War II? After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. War Department suspected that Japanese Americans might act as espionage agents for Japan, despite a lack of evidence. Republicans don’t think illegal immigrants are spying on America. President Roosevelt, as commander-in-chief, issued Executive Order 9066 that resulted in the internment of Japanese Americans. The order authorized the Secretary of War and military commanders to evacuate all persons deemed a threat from the West Coast to internment camps, that the government called "relocation centers," further inland. FDR put American citizens in concentration camps. Republicans don’t have any plan or intent to deport American citizens. Deporting people who are illegally in the US is not equivalent to putting American citizens in concentration camps, like democrats did. |
So, you back Biden on this stuff? |
I shouldn't be surprised that people are arguing with a straight face that deportation camps don't pose a major problem, if they were to happen.
But I am. |
If that's what his policy was, I am in. Deportation numbers during his term were lower than earlier. |
ICE detention centers already exist. Where do you think people wait before deportation? |
Your arguments are intellectually dishonest and not in good faith. You are lying about multiple issues and American history and the history of a democratic president. |
Men, women, and children apprehended by CBP or ICE are normally placed in removal proceedings and may be detained in one of the more than 200 jails and detention centers that make up ICE's detention system. ^^ 💅🏽 |
I think it’s pretty simple. And a tale as old as time. Their own lives have problems. And rather than, you know, personal responsibility and bootstraps, they find it easier to demonize marginalized people and blame every single problem they have on them. My job sucks, my life sucks— it’s their fault. They will never listen because it would mean that they were in fact responsible for some of the problems in their lives. |
Sure. But Biden asked for more money for further detention capacity in this years budget, and the Republican House said no. You can’t detain people unless you fund detention centers. Idiot. |
Can. But the parent does not have to take them. And if they are going back to extreme poverty, gangs, drug cartels and rapes of their 11 year olds, they may choose not to because the child is safer here, even in foster care. Many parents choose to for these reasons. And legally, they can because these American citizen kids can’t be deported. MAGA likes to make these sweeping, it’s easy statements. Detain them (11 million people?). Deport the kids (illegal and good luck changing the constitution). These are complicated problems, some of which have solutions that are classified as very bad vs even worse. If it was as easy as “send the kids too” of “mass deportation,” don’t you think someone would have done it? Like, say, your Orange idol when he was POTUS? |
Sure they can go. But you can’t force them to. They are Us citizens. How many are left behind? |
El Salvador is now safer than the US. We just need to roll out a "Bukele in every pot" style program. |
Rights Groups Oppose President Biden's Expansion of ICE Detention Dear President Biden: We write to express outrage over your administration’s expansion of the cruel and unnecessary immigration detention system. Last month, you signed a spending bill that provides historically high funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention - $3.4 billion in taxpayers’ money. Our organizations work with and advocate on behalf of people who have experienced immigration detention. They carry life long scars from the mistreatment and dehumanization they endured because of the United States’ reliance on detention, mostly through private prisons and county jails. Your administration is further entrenching this reliance, marking an utter betrayal of your campaign promises. On the date of your inauguration, fewer than 15,000 people were in ICE detention. This presented a remarkable opportunity to wind down a wasteful and abusive system. Indeed, your own 2023 and 2024 budget requests sought significantly decreased detention funding. ICE began internal reviews of the system, recommending the closure or downsizing of numerous facilities because of dangerously abusive conditions. In an abrupt change of course, over the last two years, ICE has instead increased the number of people in custody. Most of the facilities on ICE’s internal closure list remain open, despite numerous reports from advocates and service providers further documenting the ineffectiveness of detention and the need for a different approach. As the political winds shifted, so did your funding requests to Congress. In October 2023, you requested supplemental detention funding, and your FY2025 budget request sought funding for 34,000 beds instead of the 25,000 sought in the two previous cycles. The result is unsurprising: the FY2024 spending bill you signed provides ICE $3.4 billion to jail an average of 41,500 immigrants per day, historically high funding surpassing all four years of the Trump administration. Detention should not be about politics. It is about human lives, and its use has devastating consequences for the people who endure it. The system your administration is expanding is riddled with abuse and impunity. Your senior officials have been aware of these significant human rights concerns since day one. ICE’s jails and prisons operate under insufficient standards with inspections that are notorious for covering up deficiencies. Inadequate medical care results in deaths; LGBTQ individuals in custody suffer homophobic and transphobic harassment and abuse; basic sanitation is often lacking; Black immigrants face unaffordable bonds and violence at disparately high rates; and ICE’s use of solitary confinement regularly meets the United Nations’ definition of torture. This suffering does not advance any rational policy goal. Detention does not provide an efficient or ethical means of border processing, and it certainly does not indicate to migrants that they are welcome in the United States. It merely exists to further the political goal of deterrence, which is cruel, inhumane and misguided – as even the most punitive forms of detention have been proven not to deter people from seeking safety or a better life. We urge you to consider the legacy your administration intends to leave on immigration policy. Increasing the incarceration of immigrants is a grave mistake, and we urgently implore you to reverse course.

Exactly nobody is defending illegal immigration on here. The debate is what to do about it. Some people want posse comitstus suspended and shock troops grabbing everyone with an accent. Some people find that problematic. And yes, as a woman I feel pretty strongly that I should not be forced to carry a rape baby to term. I can decide myself what is best for my family, and take it up with my God if I believe in one. Although at 7 or 8 weeks. It’s not a baby. And I’m gravely that when I started to hemorrhage from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I was provided the medical care that saved my life and allowed me to parent the two kids I have. Plus, abortion is a different thread. I think there is one that’s about 400 pages long. Go debate there and stop off tracking here. |
