OK...
What does that have to do with who I really care about: black people?

Stop being short sighted this is the same way they used to do us during slavery
Nah buddy ......these folks got up from their homeland and literally walked into this.....
Never happened with my ancestors.
They did us worse in slavery...
Show me a pregnant Mexican woman with her stomach slit open, only to have the innocent child stomped to death.
I'll be the first to say the immigrants are getting done dirty right now, but the shit in Mcallen, TX aint got nothing on slavery
If the Drop Squad was real, that nigga woulda been had a visit
Concentrations camps are a part of white supremacy driven America.
Bro I hate that nigga with all my heart
These are the type that can’t be save and are dangerous, remember this faggit used to make a thread everyday about bullshit
I think he’s a agent.
I'm not being "short sighted". I have a full plate right now thinking about what I could do to further help black people. I'm Black First. If that's a bad thing then sign me up for the full meal deal and a free tattoo.
Are "immigrants" marching for reparations for my people? I looked in all my pockets, the couch cushions and even under the "fridgerator" and I still can find a fuck to give.
It's not like I am locking up those folks for their crimes.
I need that Marlo gif
This stuff has definitely reinforced one of my core beliefs: Humans are trash. Watching so many reasonable ppl pretend this shit is cool has been an eye opening experience. You always catch glimpses of how willing folks are to excuse/condone fascism when they're part of the "in-group" but rarely do you ever see "mask off" moments like this en masse.
As climate change gets worse and as resources get strained I can only imagine this shit will get more and more barbaric. Fun times ahead!

Is that your final answer or are you planning to draw a picture next?
Horrible. I feel bad for them but no empathetic to it. Many choose it-babies aside. I’ve been to a lot of those third world countries and the conditions are horrible. STILL, most have to know this shit is going happen once they get here. Not to mention, they assimilate to Cac, are starting to lean Republican, don’t like blacks and think they are better.
There are black people in the camp as well.
Harsh but you right no one capes for us, when our kids get shot it's nothing but black mom's out there protesting, we gotta move past symbolic gestures and demand fair treatment. These dudes can cape all they want but truthfully most these liberal minded, all lives matter dudes think it's self inflicted. Most these dudes are more Republican minded than they think, just like to front heavy and socialize around poor black folks they really don't care about.
They'll low key blame blacks for their own problems while speaking that racism talk that's popular right now. Mad dudes coming up off talking and doing nothing.
I think it’s more shortsighted to compare this to slavery which was involuntary servitude and importation of humans.
These are people fleeing their country voluntarily and they have a choice to return to their country. Instead , they prefer to take their chances to make you pay for their chances with your tax dollars.
I’m an immigrant but I would have returned home if I had not been approved to remain in this country after school.
First they come for them.,.
The 1980-2000 immigrant influx, therefore, generally 'explains' about 20 to 60 percent of the decline in wages, 25 percent of the decline in employment, and about 10 percent of the rise in incarceration rates among blacks with a high school education or less.

We've had this discussion before. Mexico was once a haven for escaped slaves and their government refused to return them to the U.S..

I've also linked recent work by Latinos and here are some other quotes from a similar discussion.
I'm not arguing to let them stay. I'm arguing against mistreatment, family separation and the ignoring of long established United States and international law to do so. By all means deport them, but what is being done to them now is morally wrong and, IMO, folks hardening their hearts against this is a bad sign spiritually speaking.
We are setting a precedent to be used against us later and no one is wanting to do the majority of the jobs they come here for, which is why prisons are now leasing convicts to replace them.
OK, this I agree with one hundred percent. Central America is fucked in large part because our government helped to destabilize it. MS-13 started in LA and didn't even exist in Central America until we deported them there in the 90s. All I am asking for is some consistency on the part of Latinos. Like I keep saying, we shouldn't be more outraged about Trump and his policies than they are. Latinos should be leading this, not us.
Nobody wants to do those jobs because while your average cac hated Mexicans coming here, business cacs love cheap labor and did everything they could to get more of them here.
Those same factories paying pennies to people illegally here previously paid lower middle class wages/benefits to primarily black workers. Also keep in mind, the daily minimum wage in Mexico just went up to $5.10. Someone coming here from Mexico or Central America could make more in a year than they could in a decade back home.
Their problem
Another thing tucked away in American History is the "Devil's punchbowl" Natchez, Mississippi.....Its very hard to find info on the web about it.
20,000 Free Blacks were funneled into this concentration camp and were exposed to the worst living conditions one can imagine (diseases, starvation, etc.)
History has always made concentration camps to be synonymous with the atrocities of Nazi Germany. But, America has its own dirty secrets about the use of concentration camps. These camps were located in Natchez, Mississippi and were used to corral freed slaves during and after the American Civil War. As slaves were being emancipated from the plantations, their route to freedom usually took them in the vicinity of the Union army forces. Unhappy with the slaves being freed, the army began recapturing the slaves and forced the men back into hard labor camps. The most notorious of the several concentration camps that were established was located in Natchez, MS.
As the slaves made their way to freedom, the town of Natchez went from a population of 10,000 to 120,000 people almost overnight. In order to deal with the population influx of recently freed slaves, a concentration camp was established to essentially eradicate the slaves. The men were recaptured by the Union troops and forced back into hard labor. The women and children were locked behind the concrete walls of the camp and left to die from starvation. Many also died from the smallpox disease. In total, over 20,000 freed slaves were killed in one year, inside of this American concentration camp.
