“Donald Trump has begun a policy of kidnapping immigrant children from their mothers and fathers and placing them in internment camps. In Texas.”

https://progresstexas.org/blog/silence-wolves

Families were separated with no plan to reunite them.

Why did the Trump administration separate asylum-seekers from their kids?

“The federal government claims that it separated thousands of migrant kids from their parents for one reason: The parents broke the law by entering the U.S. illegally. But the account of a Guatemalan mother named Sandy, told in this week’s episode of Reveal in partnership with the Texas Tribune, tells a different story.”

concentration camp

noun

Definition of concentration camp

a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard —used especially in reference to camps created by the Nazis in World War II for the internment and persecution of Jews and other prisoners.

An Expert on Concentration Camps Says That’s Exactly What the U.S. Is Running at the Border

Concentration Camps Existed Long Before Auschwitz

This isn’t the first time concentration camps have appeared on American soil

The Boer War Genocide: Inside History’s First Concentration Camps

World War II – The United States

Japanese Internment Camps

A Supreme Court Justice called them Concentration Camps.

Korematsu v. United States

“”MR. JUSTICE ROBERTS: “On the contrary, it is the case of convicting a citizen as a punishment for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on his ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States. If this be a correct statement of the facts disclosed by this record, and facts of which we take judicial notice, I need hardly labor the conclusion that Constitutional rights have been violated.”

“… establishing the War Relocation Authority under which so-called Relocation Centers, a euphemism for concentration camps, were established pursuant to cooperation between the military authorities of the Western Defense Command and the Relocation Authority, and that the petitioner has[p231] been confined either in an Assembly Center within the zone in which he had lived or has been removed to a Relocation Center where, as the facts disclosed in Ex parte Endo (post, p. 283) demonstrate, he was illegally held in custody. “”

Representative Jordan, You Do Realize that Dachau was built in 1933 and did not install gas chambers until 1942?

Dachau Concentration Camp: History & Overview

” Established in March 1933, the Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the Nazis in Germany

In 1942, the crematorium area was constructed next to the main camp. It included the old crematorium and the new crematorium (Barrack X) with a gas chamber. There is no credible evidence that the gas chamber in Barrack X was used to murder human beings. Instead, prisoners underwent “selection”; those who were judged too sick or weak to continue working were sent to the Hartheim “euthanasia” killing center near Linz, Austria. Several thousand Dachau prisoners were murdered at Hartheim. Further, the SS used the firing range and the gallows in the crematoria area as killing sites for prisoners.”

Representative Jordan, do you know who agrees with me that these are Concentration Camps?

Elie Wiesel

I am going to make my college professors frown but let’s go to WikiLeaks:

List of concentration and internment camps

Wow! The United States shows up!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_concentration_and_internment_camps#Migrants_at_the_Mexico%E2%80%93United_States_border

In every definition of the word, these are FOR-PROFIT, Private, benefiting donors to campaigns and Trump Inauguration, Concentration Camps.

Representative Jordan, ask yourself why, when there were FAR more apprehension in 2000 than now, this has been an issue since the day Jeff Sessions announced the Zero Tolerance Policy.

The Stats on Border Apprehensions

Southwest Border Migration FY 2019

So March of 2000 we had 220,000 apprensions. No For-Profit, Private, Prisons needed. March of 2019 we had103,723 yet we have to do this (you didn’t by the way!)

Asylum seekers are not breaking the law. Trump is.

Are US child migrant detainees entitled to soap and beds?

Detained migrant children got no toothbrush, no soap, no sleep. It’s no problem, government argues.

Sadly, Sarah Fabian, a lawyer for the United States Department of Justice, didn’t think people need things like a toothbrush, soap or a blanket.

THERE’S NO EXCUSE FOR MISTREATING CHILDREN AT THE BORDER. HERE’S WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. SPEAK UP. DONATE. EDUCATE YOURSELF. VOTE.

In Closing, Representative Jordan, President Trump and GOP, These ARE Concentration Camps. Immigrants DO Show Up, despite what acting Homeland Security secretary Kevin McAleenan says:

How many migrants show up for immigration court hearings?

Almost all of them!

Most Released Families Attend Immigration Court Hearings
