I remind you that the United States is no stranger to concentration camps

To say that the world will run out of space for all these illegals is a take that could only be taken seriously as a troll.

Do you believe illegal immigrants get nabbed and immediately tossed out of the country?
No: they get detained. And with any luck, they wait for their day in court. If they’re not so lucky, they might wait the next bus to the border. And if they arrive in the next country in large enough numbers - assuming the country accepts them - then they get detained on the other side of the border.
That’s how it works. But don’t let reality disturb your MAGA fantasy world.

No, when did I say that?
You are correct about the process. That is how things should be done. I don’t think being poor and brown should make you immune from having to follow the law.

Or white. Or President of the United States…
Indeed you’re correct. My point is, due process - hell, even the simply physics of moving groups of people in a somewhat efficient and cost-effective way - implies holding people captive in places they’re desperate to leave. That’s called detention. And when detention centers are full - and if the Orange Utan really follows through with his promise, they will be full very soon - then concentration camps will spring up. They’ll have other names - temporary repatriation centers, processing centers… but that’s what they’ll be. And it’ll be a fucking stain on the United states.
