I was certainly talking about exactly this.

Trust me, people thought you were some wild crazy freak.

See here's how it works, watch:

There's going to be concentration camps. The volume of deportation required demands it. There always needs to be two sides agreeing in a deportation, the sending and the receiving. If there's a bottleneck at the receiving or an incompetence in the sending then you warehouse. It's inherent to any logistics.

No that feeling you have that I'm crazy, that's what I'm talking about.

Anyways... See you in a year or so and I'll link back to this.

The general consensus in response to this suggests a non-trivial shift in the Overton window in the last 20 years.

How about we rain check...see you in 5–10?

I normally try to avoid commenting on politics because this account is tied to my identity and therefore my profession and it's generally not advisable to tie those things together.

So it is with no degree of lightness that I say that I agree and this concerns me gravely.

The time to be concerned was 10-15yr ago when these tactics were being normalized (if you take issue with the means) and the policies that teed up the current immigration showdown were being figured out (if you take issue with the end).

To paraphrase planting trees for shade, the second best time to be concerned is right now.

The solution to the warehouse cost problem is pretty easy, you just need to burn them because ashes are more compact, ergo less transportation costs.

You just don't want to realize that this has nothing to do with ethics anymore. It's about control and money.

Maybe the people who have enabled massive illegal immigration should have thought of the consequences.
