Moderated Trump announces new concentration camps

More from the Facebook group, that people are scrambling to delete:

On the topic of dead children, Eric Castillo separately posted a video of a large, child-sized portion of meat being wrapped in foil and then roasted over an open flame. The foil resembles the mylar blankets that unaccompanied children are given in Border Patrol custody.

“Little tonk blanket ideas!” Castillo wrote.

Castillo’s account appears to be deleted, though his posts appeared elsewhere in recent months, including a heated comment section about whether Border Patrol agents can use lethal force against migrants who throw rocks — the president previously encouraged them to do so.

When a member of the group raised the point that “’I was just following orders’ hasn’t been an effective defense in about 72 years,” Bob Wilkinson, who lists his former occupation as Border Patrol supervisor and his current occupation as a U.S. government contractor, replied, “Are you a PA or a ******* snowflake.” Wilkinson went on to write that while he had “never killed anyone,” he had “used my share of force.”

“The fact that the President recognizes rocks as deadly weapons is a good thing,” he wrote.

At that point, Castillo joined the conversation, lamenting about missing an opportunity to shoot a migrant while on the job. “Bro im gonna go home alive to my family and stop the threat!!” he wrote. “See it how you will. Ive been rocked before and missed my chance to pop a round before due to me falling to avoid the rock.. ****** ran back to the river..But I learned for next time.. Don’t be a freaking debbie downer bro..”

Wilkinson described a similar experience, writing to Castillo, “as I was drawing my trainee who was on my right grabbed my arm and screwed up my draw. They were both lucky that day.”

“BRO NEXT TIME ITS ON,” Castillo wrote back.

...

Members shared Central American names that they considered stupid. Multiple users asserted that “Guats” — Guatemalans — also have names equally worthy of ridicule. Before long, group members, including Gabriel Gonzalez, Zack Smith, Anthony Ramos, Rick Mora Jr., and Michael Scherer, were sharing photos of documents — including what appears to be intake forms — that showed migrants’ names. Christian Macias added photos of government IDs belonging to five different individuals to the comment thread.

“Non of these ignorant people can spell or write but somehow they think they deserve to be let in,” wrote Jose Ortiz, whose profile picture is a gold badge that reads “Inspector 211 S.F. Police.”

...

“They are like wild animals, stop feeding them and they wont hang around and **** on the street,” wrote Richard Tyler Jr. — Tyler’s Facebook profile identified him as a former trainer for the Border Patrol, a former sheriff’s deputy, and a former sergeant in the U.S. Army.

In late May, user Waldemar Ortiz shared a meme that said “HUNGARY LOCKS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN SHIPPING CONTAINERS TO STOP ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSINGS.”

“Can we apply this here?” Ortiz wrote.

Ortiz’s personal Facebook page indicates that he previously served in the U.S. Marine Corps and now serves in the U.S. Army. In 2018, he captioned a photo in his Marine Corps uniform with the hashtags “fuckmuslims” and “fuckislam.” He has since posted dozens of right wing memes, including one suggesting that Rep. Ilhan Omar is a terrorist.

Linky.

And another Facebook group, also a memo that senior officials knew about at least one group:

At least one other social media group with an apparent nexus to Customs and Border Protection has been discovered to contain vulgar and sexually explicit posts, according to screenshots shared by two sources familiar with the Facebook pages.

The secret Facebook group, "The Real CBP Nation," which has around 1,000 members, is host to an image that mocks separating migrant families, multiple demeaning memes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, and other derisive images of Asians and African Americans.

...

The issue is not new, however, for Customs and Border Protection. In 2018, a senior official warned all agency employees of potential discipline, after having been informed of a private Facebook group with inappropriate and offensive posts, according to a memo obtained by CNN.

"Recently the Agency was made aware of a private Facebook group page that only a specific group of CBP employee could access, on which inappropriate and offensive posts were made," Klein wrote.

The memo, dated February 2018 and titled "Social Media Posts," did not identify a specific Facebook group but reminded employees of Customs and Border Protection's standards of conduct and anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies for workplace and off-duty employees that prohibit certain conduct on the grounds of discrimination or harassment.

A recent Fox News poll found that 45% of Americans say they are not proud of their country. The Fox News people wonder why it is so low.

After reading what TB has written above, I half expect Lee Greenwood to say, "Screw you, ********, I'm outta here."
 
And you can't blame it all on Trump. ICE and CBP have been permeated with racism for a long time. Trump has just empowered them to be more open about it.

Ironically, the workforce tends to be disproportionately Hispanic due to the language requirement. When I worked for them in the legacy agency (INS) I thought it was more self loathing than racism.
 
Executive branch budgets are set by the legislature.

The legislature offered Trump money as long as he didn’t build his ******* stupid wall with it.

Furthermore, Trump can raise money by declaring a national emergency. If thousands of children living in inhuman conditions is not a national emergency and government supporters standing by saying the deserve it, i don’t know what is.

Where did Trump get the money for that farce of Julyl parade? Don’t you think he could have bought a lot of toothbrushes and soap with it instead?

Do not try to excuse the administration for their moral bankruptcy. It makes you an accessory.
 
Yeah, funny.

To white supremacists, such things are funny.
The reason undocumented immigrants are criminal is because white supremacists made it a criminal-misdemeanor. The reason there are so many in these concentration camps is because white supremacists decided that this white supremacist created misdemeanor law should be treated as felonies.

So i presume Obama was like uncle ruckus then? And I like how strict immigration laws are now on par with burning crosses and lynching. And by this standard is Europe 'white supremacist' because it has strict immigration laws?

You literally asked what about other countries! You have absolutely no basis for the above except that you are unwilling to agree with anyone here on anything.

Because as we all know only America is becoming more draconian with immigration. Acting like it's spherical cows in a vacuum is ignoring the wider context.

After it being demonstrated that you did, in fact, deploy a whataboutism...you repeat the whataboutism.

Well done.

Most people are acting like it's children in cages.

It doesn't matter if it is Australia, Europe, Saudi Arabia, the planet Porno or the USA, it's wrong. However, this thread is in the "USA Politics" section, so maybe we can concentrate on the USGovernment's abdication of common humanity here.

And yet lbj oversaw children being burned and slaughtered in Vietnam and many exhort him as the greatest post ww2 president, Eisenhower did a larger scale deportation than trump, and I'm limiting myself to post ww2 presidents to shred this "America was nice and virtuous before evil drumpfler" myth.

And when you compare trump to his peers in the civilised world", which liberals love to do, there isn't that much difference, just the filter being removed.

In other words, you're not on topic.
 
I'm pretty sure this has been asked already, but I never caught the answer. Where are the modern, currently-used European concentration camps?

well, thanks for exempting some of us. Despite his pretty decent domestic record, I hated LBJ for just about the reasons you mention, that he slaughtered people in Viet Nam and dragged our country's reputation in the mud, and in part justified it with platitudes, lies and evasions. LBJ was bad. So is Trump.

I'm not at all sure there are any.

I recall that Salvini has been demolishing refugee camps in Italy, but these were closer to tent cities that homeless people sometimes set up, rather than government-enforced concentration camps like our white supremacist president has set up.
