Why is this the hill to die on? Why not how many Americans lost their homes every week or lived through flooding or fire and still have no where to live? Why do you not care about fellow American citizens?

Well, they are getting Gitmo ready to serve as a concentration camp. So, I guess the next thing, if DonOLD follows the playbook, will be installing gas chambers there. I can just picture DonOLD rubbing his hands together thinking about the profit from harvesting things like gold teeth.

Also might ask how many US citizens will die in US custody. 2 million of them behind bars you know. Incarceration industrial complex

We will never know because the Trump admin will lie about it.

Mexico said that they're not taking them back, so what are we doing with them all? It wouldn't surprise me if Trump shoves them all into camps, and waits for them to die.
