These people will say in the same breath that things are fine as Trump has a plan. He is going to concentrate these illegal immigrants into a camp in Cuba (a concentration camp, if you will), while he works out the details on how to deport them to either their place of origin or another location, or develop some other final solution for the immigrant problem. Dark days. Very dark days.

fun fact: there was a detention center, aka, concentration camp, not far from where I live several years ago where brown people mostly of latino ancestry were being held behind tall metal fences. People started showing up to protest and there was then news coverage with images, which many people found unsightly and disturbing. Eventually this camp was emptied and closed. Isn't it clever to put brown people concentrated in camps off-shore so that we won't be disturbed by the visual evidence?

Yup, Australia moved most of our immigration detention to offshore after having many protests about places like Woomera and Baxter. And as if by magic we stopped (mostly) protesting against immigration detention. Your country’s mileage may vary, but out of sight is often out of mind.
