Cable news people call them “prison camps” or “Trump prison camps,” but look in any dictionary: prisons are where people convicted of crimes are held. As Merriam-Webster notes, a prison is:
“[A]n institution for confinement of persons convicted of serious crimes.”
But what do you call a place where people who’ve committed no criminal offense (immigration violations are civil, not criminal, infractions)? The fine dictionary people at Merriam-Webster note the proper term is “concentration camp”:
“[A] place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard.”
The same reason Donald Trump is president.
A significant percentage of Americans are too ignorant to know what’s happening around them.
And another significant percentage are bigots who like it.
That’s why this ship will almost certainly continue sinking after the orange rapist is dead.
had three women in an suv give slack for our friday return commute protest. It just blows my mind. their stuff is always. go trump if not an explexitive aimed at us. I mean you are yelling at signs talking about he should not ignore the constitutiion. its so surreal in some ways. all the while they are surrounded by cars giving us waves, thumbs up, peace signs. I honestly am not sure if they see how they are the only ones who are ok with this among the whole crowd at the traffic light.
