Apparently, this administration does have a vision, albeit a dystopian one. I assume it’s the brainchild of Stephen Miller, but Trump must be OK with it. In any event, the bullshit avalanche keeps on advancing.
It is heartening to see the pushback against use of massive storage facilities being turned into detention centers, i.e. prison camps—a network of camps across the country, millions being spent on these places that will turn into hell on earth for the people brought there as prisoners, with conditions so distasteful that the only escape becomes self-deportation.
What a horrible dilemma for people just wanting a place to call home.
Is it wearing on us as a nation yet—knowing that these facilities already exist and that there are plans to create many more of them? That we’ll be trying to carry on with our lives as we drive by these massive buildings full of people in limbo, being treated poorly, being forced to settle and return to the places from which they were trying to escape?
Who decides to leave their country of origin and trek to America, unless they have good reason for doing so? I realize immigration is a massively complicated issue, and not everyone who comes across the border has good intentions, but the Trump administration tact is lazy and heartless, its own reveal of the character of the people running this government right now.
It’s easy to be mean, a lot harder to be thoughtful and measured in one’s reaction to human fear and suffering. Miller and others have to be aware of this, yet they have no problem rubbing salt in the wounds.
