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?"

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?

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.

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

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