US Navy planning to build military camps to jail 120,000 immigrants

[wsws.org]

(The Democrats have offered no opposition to the construction of military prison camps for immigrant families. On the contrary, they have consistently supported raising funding for “border security” and increasing the number of ICE and CBP agents, while peddling the false and reactionary narrative that immigrant workers endanger the jobs and depress the wages of the native-born work force.)

Complicity!

Let me see if I have this right. We were able to spend 100's of millions to secretly house immigrants in large shuttered Wal-Marts for the benefit of private companies, but now that the secret is out we'll throw them in open air tent city concentration camps. Well hey, at least we can now watch the abuse going on, huh? I guess the idea of creating real honest jobs for local areas to put up make shift walls with all that money in shuttered Wal-Marts and security never crossed anyone's mind. If they can't funnel the money into one of their crony corporate entities in secret, they'll just completely screw anyone they can get their hands on now.

Man, we are going somewhere in a handbasket. I do what I can. I sign petitions, donate money, write letters and sometimes protest in the streets. We should do whatever is possible to mitigate some of the damage done by Mr. Cheeto.

Although I highly appreciate the effort you put into fighting Trump, please do take notice to the articles mention of the democrats lack of action also! They are every bit of responsible for what is going on today too. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to help make a real difference to change their party affiliation to the green party as the only real progressive party supporting the people peace and planet. During this present primary cycle the green party in Ohio has almost doubled. This is from a facehack post.

( In Ohio
Green Party voter affiliations sit at 7,353, up from 4,200 prior to May Primary. During the primary election, 1,297 previously Democratic Party affiliated voters, 896 previously Republican Party affiliated voters, 1,747 previously unaffiliated voters, and 143 first-time voters all requested and cast a Green Party ballot.)

I was one of the unaffiliated voters. I know it doesn't seem like much, but look at the diversity of those switching parties! I saw the diversity during the 2016 primary as far as republicans go. I was on facehack trying to get support for Sanders before and all through 2016, helping many republicans make the switch to either join the democratic party or independent party if allowed in their area to vote as such as an independent. I was honestly astonished how many republicans were ready to vote for a democratic leaning socialist! Along with the higher age groups that were among them!!! People are tired of the status quo! We have to keep this ball rolling and get the word out to make a real difference. It rolled for that dam con artist Sanders and I know it can roll for the green party. 2016 was the year we said enough and we almost got to the top. But the corruption beat us from within our own movement. Now its time to take both these dam corrupt parties out.
