Angry Letters from Paradise

"If you will not fight for the right, when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." --Sir Winston Churchill

I'm sorry, did you say "immigration emergency?"

"The federal government ... awarded a $385 million contract for the construction of "temporary detention facilities." These would be used, the story said, in the event of an "immigration emergency."

Jamie Zuieback, an official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), explained such an emergency like this: "If, for example, there were some sort of upheaval in another country that would cause mass migration, that's the type of situation that the contract would address."http://www.presstelegram.com/search/ci_3470080

I wasn't aware that the Mexicans were all that unhappy. Certainly they don't intend to place Canadians in such facilities. I seriously doubt they plan to put migrants of any ilk in these. No, my friends, that sound you hear just beneath the sound of the cash register bell, that insistent beat, that's the sound of jackboots in the night, coming to take you away, temporarily, of course for your your own safety to a facility where you will be protected.

I'm sure that many Americans of Japanese extraction believed the same thing, until all their property was sold out from under them at pennies on the dollar.during WWII. I'm sure that there were even a few Jews in Poland who believed that they would be safer in the Ghettos. The fact that everyone in the facility will be of a similar political bent to yourself will probably escape your notice for the first few days, then the reality will set in, but it will be too late.

Hey Americans! There's no such thing as an "immigration emergency." Never has been, never will be. Kellogg, Brown and Root are building concentration camps. Wake up and smell the cement before you end up smelling gas.
