    And we're shocked by this? They never cared to begin with. The cages went by the cute politically correct term of "immigrant detention centers" back when Obama was in office.

    There was ZERO outrage from liberals back in 2013 and 2014 when reports of rapes and questionable deaths were occurring at these camps in Texas and Arizona. There was a high suicide rate by minors there and not a peep came from liberals.

      No surprise, just a mixture of self-satisfaction that we were right, horrified about how they describe concentration camps and how quickly they changed, and a sinking feeling of despair to see that nothing will change

        And these are the liberals that people tell us on here daily that we should be wasting our time trying to radicalize lol. I can at least get my conservative leaning friends to admit that the system is fucked up. Libs will still be declaring the status quo to be great as we're hauled off to camps.

    This literal definition of a cage is not a cage. If you deny this you are denying reality.

    Two posts in and he already describes migration as "people being send by somebody" as if he's some Great Replacement grifter. Two more posts and he assures us that chain link fence is cheap, quick and allows for good ventilation.

    There were too many kids, Jack. We had to put them in cages to await their asylum hearings. What did you want us to do, put them up in a hotel? Use the vast wealth and near limitless resources of the state to build humane housing for them? C'mon, chain-link fences offer good ventilation, man. They're not cages, anyway. They're just chain-link enclosures set up in warehouses that they can't leave because they're unaccompanied minors. That's not a cage, it's a perfectly reasonable temporary housing situation. Also they were only there for a few days, I claim with no source.

    I really can't understand this mindset. Unless there's a really, really good reason putting kids in cages like they're stray dogs that've been rounded up off the street is a) wrong and b) very obviously dehumanizing them in preparation for what's to come. It doesn't matter who is doing it.

    I don't know what that good reason would be. About all I could think of is if there was some natural disaster and it's literally the only building standing and you've got a bunch of kids that got cut off from their parents that you need to keep warm and dry. And even then it's pretty suspicious that you've got buildings with human cages in them in the first place.
