Trump administration says it has begun deporting migrants to Guantánamo Bay
-
Wasn't a traditional walk out, but just yesterday there was a TikTok spread one that got a few of my students out on the street in LA to protest and cause traffic. Got in the news, at least. Normally non profits and rights groups do it, like in 2017.
Also naturally it's only Latinos in that, everyone else are very complacent right now.

Asking for a solution to the immigrant question. That's the reason the Nazis built concentration camps too.
Turns out you don't actually need to imprison people in extrajudicial torture camps, you can just treat them with a shred of human decency instead.
Like we've been dealing with immigrants for centuries, practically every nation has, we don't need a 'final solution', we can process them individually and find solutions dynamically based on the needs and situation of the individual. Sometimes that means deportation, sometimes it means granting asylum, and sometimes it means working with our allies to find a suitable destination. Imprisoning them in Guantanamo bay is not a solution, it's a pretense for extermination.

Sometimes deals can be arranged with countries of origin (or nearby), even if it takes time and diplomatic effort (and probably some compensation to the receiver).
If that fails, and anyways until that succeeds (if ever), you still have to treat these people as humans with dignity and rights.
If they are criminals, they serve their time like anyone else.
But first and foremost, if only for pragmatic reasons, society should look for ways to integrate these individuals in a way which benefits everyone; as a productive member. Most people don't strive to live in misery, and they probably came to your country in hopes of a better future. Help them build that, and everybody might win.
The alternative is to become a monster yourself and still have no answers.

Like when Trump published the minutes from his "perfect phone call".

Yesterday, inspired by the news about mass depaorations, i watched a documentary on the Final Solution.
Among a lot of interesting things, one thing stood out to me: The original Nazis were afraid that the german people would not only reject genocide, but also reject the idea of jews (aka. their neighbors) being sent to brutal labor camps.
So they produced propaganda movies depicting the city Theresienstadt as a spa town. And then told the public that the jews would be sent there to be protected from the increasingly antisemitic public.To lull victims into a false sense of security, the SS advertised Theresienstadt as a "spa town" where Jews could retire, and encouraged them to sign fraudulent home purchase contracts, pay "deposits" for rent and board, and surrender life insurance policies and other assets.

Nowadays, you can just tell the american people:
Hey, we are gonna send your neighbors to a torture camp. Great camp. Lovely camp. Most brutal camp of the world.
And they are like: Yessss, finally a solution to the migrant question.
I can also recommend Life Under Adolf Hitler: The First Years Of Nazi Germany.

Biden's administration used the camps Trump created to deport people.
-
Non-citizens detained in war don't have the same rights as US citizens.
Some of those people were guilty and should have been tried and jailed here (provided they could safely be held here).

Im not sure that's accurate given how racist many presidents were.
-
Yeah, I mean, such a thing has never happened before. How ridiculous. Transporting thousands or even millions of people into camps to let them work themselves to death or to just kill them. Nobody would ever do such a thing!
-
I feel like a lot of blunders hinge on underestimating how racist the average person is.
-
Well they actually wait in Mexico now until their case is heard. Remain in Mexico policy started with Trump, Biden tried to get rid of it, but apparently courts stopped him.

They'll do when they realize that's the only way to fit 30,000 immigrants into a torture camp that can hold < 1000 inmates.
By May 2003, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp had grown into a larger and more permanent facility that housed over 680 prisoners, the vast majority without formal charges.

Some of those people were guilty and should have been tried and jailed here
if so, why weren't they tried and sentenced?
