Moderated Trump announces new concentration camps

I'm having trouble finding the video of the Obama admin lawyer arguing that soap and toothbrushes are not necessary components of a child's hygiene. Can someone help me out here?
 
Even more of the "other countries do evil things, or at least are claimed to do evil things, so there is no reason to not do evil things ourselves" justification. The "evils" don't even have to match very well. No reason to strive for better: find the worse and use it to justify whatever you wish to do with morality irrelevant.


It feels like there's also an element of "one European country did this specific terrible thing, so if you see anything ever done by any European country as being worth emulating, you're an evil hypocrite."
Kind of like "If you're so concerned about climate change, why are you living in a house, driving a car, and using the internet?"

I'm just waiting for the "We used to have legal slavery in America, so it's OK if we do it again: It's not unprecedented or uniquely bad."
 
What do you think should be done with these people?

- Hold them for processing?
- Send them back?
- Build a luxury hotel with the capacity to house 100,000 new people every month?
- Let them walk in unimpeded?
- ???

Screen them for communicable diseases, violet crimes and then let em in.
 
Yes. Many of them have families they can stay with while awaiting asylum as well. That would save us taxpayers $$$ vs the 750/child/day that we are paying to detain them right now.
 
America has no concentration camps in the true sense of the word. We have temporary internment camps. These camps would not exist if the illegals didn't break our laws by coming here illegally. COmpared to what would happen to say in Red China if a mass of illegals crossed their borders with the same motivation to steal their jobs we are very kind.

Illegals bring crime and disease into America and we have to do something to contain it.

Amazing. Every word you just said is wrong

Look into the origin of the word concentration camp with the second Boer war. That fits perfectly.

Ok but these so-called concentration camps are not extermination camps. They are in place to protect Americans from the child traffickers, murderers, and other criminals flooding our borders. I can't think of anything else that can be done to protect us.

Not just "one european country" but doing so with the tacit consent of the rest of the European Union.

Stop lying.

Tacit consent? I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.

ETA: or you mean the EU tacitly approves of what Italy is doing, then I'd like some evidence of this.

Hint: Be careful how you answer that. It's a trap.

I still don't, get even if we just hit the "Change Reality" button and pretend all the whataboutism is actually true, what differences it makes.

We just aren't allowed to oppose something if we didn't oppose it before? Consistency is more important than doing good? Dead children are an acceptable sacrifice to lay at the alter of "Well the other side got to do it....?"

(a) In general

No individual in the custody or under the physical control of the United States Government, regardless of nationality or physical location, shall be subject to cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment.

(b) Construction

Nothing in this section shall be construed to impose any geographical limitation on the applicability of the prohibition against cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment under this section.

(c) Limitation on supersedure

The provisions of this section shall not be superseded, except by a provision of law enacted after December 30, 2005, which specifically repeals, modifies, or supersedes the provisions of this section.

(d) Cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment defined

In this section, the term “cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment” means the cruel, unusual, and inhumane treatment or punishment prohibited by the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as defined in the United States Reservations, Declarations and Understandings to the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Forms of Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment done at New York, December 10, 1984.

The whole "is it really even illegal?" argument is a farce, anyways.

If what we're doing right now is not illegal that in no way makes me feel better about it.

ETA: given the stipulations requiring the President to act on information about the treatment described here as well as even more direct issues with conspiracy to deprive persons of their civil rights (especially under color of law/as government personnel), I say drop Mueller issue and the tax returns pissing contest.

Impeach him for this. I think orchestrating a depraved enterprise on this scale certainly qualifies for high crimes and misdemeanors. No, it won't work. Of course it won't work. But it will fill the entire run up to the election with Republicans having to do their "I'm so outraged at this entire proceeding!" routine framed against the ever-increasing deluge of horror stories that will be pouring out of these facilities as the inevitable results of overcrowding and hygiene take their toll.

Here's the problem with all the lies being thrown about in this thread. That don't make sense even if you believe them and the response wouldn't make sense even if the lies were true.

They're all a bunch of disease addled criminals. Okay fine that's not true, but "Hits the I believe button." Fine let's alter reality so that's true. How is exactly keeping the children of disease addled criminals in cages without toothbrushes and soap help that situation at all?
