There is not a border "crisis." Immigration is at its lowest point since 1999. And when it was at its peak I don't recall Clinton calling it a border "crisis." Why are you so quick to accept trump fear-mongering?

trump and Pence should call themselves twitchy and zombie.
Obama had more coming in than trump did.
Gasp!!! SHE'S RIGHT!!
LOOK!! The ILLEGAL CHILSDREN are in an EXACT REPLICA OF JOSEF MENGELE'S LAB!!!!!!!
You haven't linked to where these pictures came from.
Citation, please.
When someone says "concentration camps" you see Auschwitz. Japanese internment camps and Guantanamo Bay are neither Auschwitz nor Club Med, no matter what you righties think. Same for those on the southern border.
Awaiting trial? They're migrants and asylum seekers, not criminals.
no. you need to check the figures.
Also these are "family units" ( with a child - but many times not a family.)
That changes how they have to be processed ( Flores settlement)
Let me type this real slow. If somebody is awaiting processing they are not illegal. They are waiting their turn in the system and hoping they won't be sent back.
If someone was caught sneaking in without going through the procedure, they are illegal because they were trying to bypass the system. Why is this so hard for you to understand?
And why are RWs calling refugees and asylum seekers "illegals who are invading"?
Look at the graph in post 181.
I'm going by the Customs & Border graph in 181.

Yes ... because they were not coming thru the border ..... hence the need for fences .
The term was around long before WW2. The Nazi death camps aren't the only comparison to make.
Although the first example of civilian internment may date as far back as the 1830s,[SUP][8][/SUP] the English term concentration camp was first used in order to refer to the reconcentrados (reconcentration camps) set up by the Spanish military in Cuba during the Ten Years' War (1868–78).[SUP][9][/SUP] The term saw wider use around the Second Boer War (1899–1902), when the British operated such camps in South Africa for interning Boers.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP]

Lmao, so they are running out of space, but there is no crisis? And your chat goes to 2017? You realize it's 2019>There is not a border "crisis." Immigration is at its lowest point since 1999.

Then Trump needs to declare one of his "emergencies" to get the money. A REAL emergency versus the two he pulled out of his ass.

Again, yes, when you couple 'never again' and 'concentration camps' people think Nazi.
No, the detainment facilities are nothing at all like gitmo or Japanese internment camps. You again display complete ignorance on the topic,

Yes, they are awaiting trial... Determination of status, whatever you want to call it. They are not being held without it. They are also free to go back to their country any time they choose.

Lmao. So either they are awaiting processing for asylum, hence NOT being held without trial. Or they are illegal and being held for deportation hearing. Either way...NOT a concentration camp
