USA are literally killing children now to prevent people from coming in.
Basically concentration camps.
And using them as bait for sting operations to arrest more immigrants.

I wish there was a rule for WaPo to not be used as a news source anymore. It's practically useless with the paywall.
Right click it and open in incognito, works literally every time.
Ooo, thank you!
We are not going to learn from this
"I just don't understand how the German people could stand by while the Nazis committed such atrocities"
There's always been people in the United States who want a brutal ethnostate. There was a war about it; people stood by during slavery, Native genocide, Jim Crow, Japanese internment, and now this.
People still stand by all of that. They're very few and far between, but look at idiots like Jesse Lee Peterson. 163k subs and he is "Thankful for slavery". People think of this man as a poet.

Remember that hundreds of years of eternal torment and servitude is ok because "lol they're free now"
Goddamn it's a good thing I got cold feet on the border patrol job I was lined up for. The state of affairs is sickening.
Well, better to have at least a few good men and whistleblowers there than let it consist of nothing more than racist fucks and sadists.
True to a point. Until I would probably be fired or drummed out for not playing along. And I have to imagine you would become a target fairly quickly, look at what often happens to police whistleblowers. I could have had an unfortunate accident on the border and no one would give a shit because who's going to miss a border guard.
Shouldn't this count as negligent homicide, or something? Dehydration is not exactly something that has obscure symptoms with a complex cure. It's almost hard to believe something like this is even possible in this day and age, but I really shouldn't be surprised. This is incredibly sad.
this should count as attempted genocide actually
If human trafficking wasn't a huge issue things would be much easier.
how many have died senselessly now.
the "we're stopping human trafficking" excuse is bullshit. the trump admin's reckless and violent approach to immigration has actually created even more openings for it
Hello Facepunch.
Please read the article. She hadn't eaten BEFORE she got there and was already in septic shock when border patrol took her in.
Getting offered a cup of water and asked if there's plenty of air in the back of the car kind of comes off as some condescending bullshit, but the the authorities do it for a reason; to waive their liability for being human garbage.
If I were being held for deportation, waiting 8 months in an ICE palace for the government who hates you to give you a free plane ride, I'd probably rather die of dehydration. Around here in county a lot of people on hunger strike get what I call "the tube."
So uh I guess what I am saying is at least she didn't get the tube.
What's the usual process people go through when they're taken to detention? Do they go through a medical check?
im trying to figure out the point of this post.
Lol, good joke. Nuance and accuracy is only relevant when the news goes the other way.
You just described yourself.
For someone who whines like a bitch about accuracy and nuance, you really suck at both. Just like the transphobic teacher thread where you argued semantics and I called your bluff before you even posted it yourself.
Do yourself and others a favor, if you think FP is some leftwinger echochamber, make like a bird and flock off to some backwater forum that sucks trump off for decades to come.
A little girl tragically died after a horrific forced journey with no food or water and people are saying it's an example of US genocide. You have no problem with that.
I think that says enough.
Giving prisoners some water isn't fucking complex
Possibly because after said girl was captured ill, agents didn't give her any help medical or food/water for 8 hours. Add ontop the fact that we already seen videos of agents treating immigrants like subhuman garbage, its not hard to stretch a hyperbole that the US doesn't give a shit about human lives if they are brown and foreign.
Do i need to remind you the incident where a teen was forced to drink liquid meth while two agents laughed at him and knew fully well what said contents were. Or the time where agents on the border smashed water stations that supply migrants with clean water to stay safe? Get over yourself, and realize the full picture.
Nevermind wrongful death, criminal charges should be applied.
