    I thought part of the whole anti-immigrant argument was they are living off the government.

    Isn’t holding them for an undetermined amount of time exactly that, but with more steps?

    They’re called “concentration camps.” Anything less is euphemistic propaganda.

    I wonder where they are… Recently a warehouse in OKC was going to be purchased for this, but the seller backed out because it was going to be a detention center.

    Actually, they backed out because the locals threw a fit about it. We should do more of that.

    And by turn into they mean empty out. They aren’t building anything, they only know how to tear things down.

    So they’re openly building concentration camps. What’s being done to stop them? Are there really still people pretending this is a perfectly normal thing for the government of a supposedly civilized country to do?
