In any case, detentions at the border are not concentration camps, or anything remotely close, and everyone knows it. Time to put this particular bit of prog hysteria to bed. We can spend our time better arguing about the extent to which California is a shithole.

Overcrowded prisons used for indefinite detention without rights to trial or bond hearings are concentration camps.

"For I was hungry and you did not give me food. I was thirsty and you gave me no drink. I was a refugee and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me. Sick and in prison and you did not visit me." Matthew 25:42-43

The Trump administration argued in court Tuesday that the government is not required to give soap or toothbrushes to children apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border and can have them sleep on concrete floors in frigid, overcrowded cells.

You might what to look into what the Bible has to say about life and abortion.

Exodus - 22. And should men quarrel and hit a pregnant woman, and she miscarries but there is no fatality, he shall surely be punished, when the woman's husband makes demands of him, and he shall give [restitution] according to the judges' [orders]. 23. But if there is a fatality, you shall give a life for a life, 24. an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot. 25. a burn for a burn, a wound for a wound, a bruise for a bruise.

Numbers - But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband" - 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse - "may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell.

Sorry DIPSHIT....I was born here. So was my mother and grandmother. I can clearly see that you dont know or understand the definition of the word immigration. You're an idiot of the highest order! FOOL!
So, that just means you didn't do anything to earn your citizenship except getting squirted out and start crying.

why didn't trump do it when he had control of the house, senate, and presidency?

Arriving in America did not mean that an immigrant would automatically get in. By 1907, immigration laws barred criminals, prostitutes, the insane, the feebleminded, those with certain contagious diseases, political radicals, laborers who had signed contracts to work in the United States, and people who would likely end up being supported by public funds. Individuals who fit into any of these categories had to be weeded out by the immigration inspectors. Then they were detained and eventually deported. This was the main purpose of Ellis Island. As a result, some immigrants began calling Ellis Island, the "Isle of Tears."
Before arriving on Ellis Island, each steerage passenger was tagged with a number. Upon docking at Ellis Island, interpreters formed the immigrants into groups of 30 by yelling out numbers in various languages.
Then came the first test. As the tired, but excited immigrants walked into the main building, they had to climb a steep set of stairs. At the top were doctors watching for lame or ill people. This was known as the "six-second physical."
After leaving their baggage in Registry Hall, immigrants faced a series of medical exams. First, doctors asked brisk questions, which nearby interpreters translated. Children were asked their names in order to check for deafness and dumbness. Then doctors inspected each immigrant's face, hair, neck and hands. Other doctors looked for tuberculosis, leprosy, cholera, and other diseases. The last doctor was the "eye man." He quickly snapped back the eyelids of each person with a buttonhook, looking for trachoma, a highly infectious disease that causes blindness.
If a doctor suspected a person had some disease or condition that could lead to deportation, a letter was marked in chalk on the immigrant's clothing. An "H" meant suspected heart disease. An "F" meant facial rash. An "L" meant lameness or rickets. An "X" meant a mental defect. And an "E" meant eye disease. About 20 percent were detained for further examination. Those who passed the doctors' examinations were sent back to Registry Hall to be questioned further by federal immigration inspectors.
In the early 1900s, immigration inspectors on Ellis Island worked from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week, with only a few days off. These inspectors questioned 400-500 immigrants apiece each day. They had about two minutes to decide whether an immigrant was "clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to land."
The inspectors put the same questions to every immigrant: "Who paid for your passage?" "How many dependents?" "Ever been in prison?" "Can you read and write?" "What work do you do?" "Do you have a job waiting for you?" ("Yes" would mean a violation of the Contract Labor Law, and certain deportation) "Is anyone meeting you?" "Where are you going?" "How much money do you have?" The immigrants spent their long days aboard ship practicing their answers to these questions. They knew that if they slipped, they couldn't get in.

"the feebleminded"

That can't be true. FK's relatives had to come from somewhere, since he's not Native American.

1907 to current: 112 years. 1776 to current, minus 112 years: 131 years. 1565 (St. Augustine) to current, minus 112 years: 342 years. I think we can agree that we're unclear about the rules governing the (probably three) migrations of Asians to North America about 14,000 to 12,000 years ago; and, the effect that had on the people they discovered here...
