"Trump has said that he intends on making them work and when the day is over they should reflect on their actions, he wishes for them to concentrate on what it means to break the law."
"No one call it this, never in history, so I said why don't we call them Concentration Camps? They concentrate on the bad things they do and they Work. No one calls it this, why not? Work Camp, Concentration Camp. It will be a gas! Great stuff. Time said I'm the Best Person In The World. Concentration Camps make America great again!"
Well Texas already volunteered to donate land for Trump to build his first concentration camp so I mean, yeah, he's been open to the idea of using camps pretty openly for a while. Stephen Miller discussed it as an eventual necessity even earlier.
One of the things I find the most wild about this is that he's been a criminal his whole life, is now a convicted felon, and still tries to play the white knight of law and order.
We need to start countering the Rights propaganda before it's too late, spin their own words around and make going after immigrants looking for a better life the victims of a political witch hunt. Make them the people "treated so badly, perhaps the worst in history". It's the Billionaires weaponizing the DOJ against minorities and immigrants, the Billionaires have been living on Easy Street for decades.
"I hope we're not going to need too many because I want to get them out, and I don't want them sitting in camp for the next 20 years."
That's good to depend on identifying where they came from and getting some other country to take them. [Hint: most countries aren't going to want them.]
Trump emphasized he'd act "absolutely within the confines of the law."
He seemed to reject economists' view that deporting millions of migrant agricultural workers could trigger a spike in the price of goods, saying, "No, because we're going to let people in, but we have to let them in legally. We don't want people to come in from jails."
.... Hmm, that reads like he's going to take bribes from companies to bring in workers (maybe that $1B thing he was tweeting about covers this too), or even accept bribes from workers to come in.
I'm also willing to bet that at some point he's just going to declare victory: of, yeah, we got enough of them, scared them off, the ones that are left are the "good ones", the bad ones have been reported except for some that the Democrats wouldn't let us deport even though they're very evil people but don't worry, you're not supporting them, we're having them work for their room and board."
And the media will just report exactly what he claims with no fact-checking or pushback and his followers will believe him unreservedly.
