ome on man. They turn themselves in. You really think they don’t know?

What’s your alternative?

You don’t even know what I’m arguing. The description of the detention centers as concentration camps is accurate per the definition of the term. That’s it.

Ok, if you say so. We know better than to use a dictionary on this one though, don’t we?

I don’t say so, the dictionary does. Did you click the link I posted?

The Trump administration doesn’t want to use the term “concentration camps” because it sounds bad politically. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what they are.

Are they? Ok, if you say so.

No, the dictionary.

And why do you and the left insist on calling them concentration camps? Is “detention center” not in the dictionary?

[STODR]

Because that is the talking point AOC put out. But dont mention her only the right pays attention to her according to the libs on here.

Deliberately chosen term? Why would anybody do that?

Both terms are accurate, and both sides obviously choose their language carefully for maximum political impact. I haven’t insisted anyone call them anything, I’m just pointing out that complaining about calling them concentration camps is silly because they are, in fact, concentration camps. Also detention centers.

Just let them all in with full benefits courtesy of us then? House, a car, a job, money for education and a stipend… maybe a country club membership?

Arguing the absurd is absurd.

If it wasn’t we could just use the conservative solution of shooting the invaders as they approach the border. No detention necessary.

[Mountain_Soldier]

But I thought all the people crossing the borders are highly educated and we don’t need to vet them at all and it’s discriminatory even questioning their status and motives?

[lessright]

That’s because you listened to some talking head telling you that’s what democrats say and you bought it.

I have it on good authority (not fake news) that they’re dope dealers, rapists, murderers and invaders.

[Mountain_Soldier]

Yep. The country is powerless to do anything to anyone who presents as a refugee. Can’t vet them, can’t deny them entry… nothing.

[Mountain_Soldier]

How do we know? We can’t deny entry to anyone claiming refugee status and we can’t vet them.

[lessright]

No need since Trump promised new extreme vetting procedures. According to his promise those should have been in place about 2 years now.

[Mountain_Soldier]

That would be in violation of the Convention on the Status of Refugees. We can’t question them at all, nor can we take action.

I wouldn’t call it silly, given your statement on choosing the language. Is it not a blatant associating with Nazis and the detention centers there?

Robbie Francis is a talking head?

[lessright]

Who’s is Robbie Francis and how do you know Mountain Soldier listened to him/her?
