@ Moving with Mitchell -- As individuals, all we can do is speak out against this tsunami of hate. Stopping it takes collective action and there must be the political will to do that, with all the consequences it entails.
@ Parnassus (Jim) -- "Evil ideas" sums it up exactly. History is crammed with lessons about where these ideas lead, but do we learn? No. The only lesson which seems to repeat is how easy it is to manipulate people using hate.
Debra, you are so right about speaking out. I, too, called it Alligator Alcatraz, but will now call it what it is: a concentration camp. And I will correct anyone who says otherwise. A racist bigoted concentration camp. Excellent post!
As an American I do not support this or him. Please know that the most racist among us are the noisiest. As a former ESL teacher I'm saddened to think about my former students living in fear.
How anyone can equate unlawful border crossing or overstaying a visa with burglary, trafficking, rape, or murder, is beyond me. Why would anyone think that separating a child from its parent(s) is an acceptable solution to border jumping? How "powerless" in your life must you feel to have these acts of cruelty make you believe you are "empowered"?

Yes, sickening and horrifying. What do we do?
All because they didn't want a woman president telling them what they can and cannot do.
Hello Debra, Did you take a look at Hels' blog today?

I am so saddened that people in supposedly free countries keep coming up with these same evil ideas.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday, he's building concentration camps.
