So we are cutting jobs of federal employees to pay one Private Prison $1,000,000,000 to house "up to 1,000" immigrants in New Jersey. That's a million dollars per immigrant. We could buy each immigrant a house 🏠 and put their kids thru college for a million dollars. - ThreadSky

Missed this earlier. How is it not a bigger story?

I get that it's one wave in an ongoing tsunami, but it's a high wave imo.

All those people look like proud family members watching a little boy write his name out clearly for the first time.

"Swamp" drain is really privatization of our government. #PayForPlay

Do not allow these concentration camps to be built. Form a line, sabotage the machinery and so on. If they go up it’s only a matter of time before you go in.

I get what you’re saying but I think that attitude is only going to encourage a defeatist mind set Yes, there are camps in play, we are past the preventative measures stage and on to the treatment portion of this disease.

Just realistic. We have tools to expose these now so it doesn't happen in darkness.

We have 3 military bases in New Mexico plus White Sands missile range with a lot of land & sadly we're home to Japanese interment camps so staying vigilant

Please don’t let your realism diminish your rage towards these evils and desire to help those targeted by evil men. I hear a lot of but what can I do or I’m powerless kinda talk from people. If you don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, lite a fire.

Oh no, I know what to do. I fight the government everyday. I'm a public defender 😊

You'd think they can't do math, or understand the value of things, but the cruelty, showboating and corruption is the point.

They could buy a thousand citizens a house. Crazy.
