Okay then. Today two of the regulars fairly blew up at my calling those places "concentration camps", because they're Jewish and only they can use that term. And because they're a Trump-supporting weasel and a Trump-apologist respectively, they will not call those places that.
Fair enough.
The Armenians were "re-educated". The Boers were "restrained". And the Japanese Americans were "Americanized".
We provided rich fertile lands for the American Indians; they just didn't appreciate it.
Those places on the border where we're having women and children sleep on concrete under harsh lighting with scant healthcare or sanitary facilities are good Christian lodgings, why, they're "Southern Hospitality Suites".
ICE is staffed by kindly humanitarians with charity in their hearts.
I'm totally cool with being shouted down by assholes.

All those treacherous little kiddie Hispanic thugs-in-training presently receive sanitation and clean mylar bedding in a supportive Christian environment, along with a free American education that, one fervently hopes, will turn them away from their natural life of crime.
And it's all free!
Besides, they'll be going back where they came from soon.
And anyway, they are all Catholics, you know.
So none of it actually matters.
