No one is denying that the camps they sent the Japanese-American citizens to were a horrible idea. Also, considering that Prescott Bush tried to overthrow president FDR, America sold weapons to the Nazis and dropped the bomb on Japan after they surrendered, kinda shows fascism was on its way already.

You should call fascist the 27 gobernments of European Union that supported the Directive of Return in 2008 that, among other things, allows detention of illegals up to 18 months before expulsion.

For the Republican Party, the issue isn't about stemming illegal immigration. It's about having an ethnic enemy.
For instance, Obama's presidency has deported more illegal immigrants than any other president the last two generations thereabouts. More than both Bush's, Reagan, and Clinton.
He has also deported more illegal immigrant CRIMINALS than regular illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrant crime has stabilized and is actually at a several-year-low in Arizona, the hotbed of supposed illegal immigrant criminal activity.
And yet, Republicans claim that nothing is being done and want to pass more laws and even take away citizenship from groups of people. In fact, they are against funding MORE border patrol agents.
The only thing one can surmise is that this isn't about solving a problem in the most effective way one knows how, this is about keeping people around to demonize and call evil while reminding ethnic groups that they are not "true" Americans (and by "true" I mean of European descent or second-generation).

I don't agree with how this immigration issue is being dealt with, but it's obvious that people are digging you up because your singing to the choir... since it's doubtful you ever picked up a history book in your life.
Illegal immigration has always been a hot topic in the USA. For instance, the 1986 amnesty bill was very controversial and signed by Reagan (a Republican). Thus, we see that Immigration was a past issue and republicans have offer a solution (even though it failed). So to suggest this issue is some type of political fabrication is absurd.
Secondly, the issue doesn't divide down party lines. With border states, you will find republicans and democrats strongly against illegal immigration... why.... because it places a huge financial burden on their healthcare and education systems. Yet in other parts of the nation, you find republicans and democrats supporting another amnesty bill. Why? Republicans know Hispanics tend to be socially conservative and believe they will form a new backbone to the Republican party. But democrats know they are poorer, and would be attractive to a party that promotes unions, increases in minimal wages, subsidized low-interest mortgages, etc. So essentially... immigration isn't an issue that tends to break down party lines.

The same thing happened to the empire of Rome. It was the worlds superpower with many advances in every aspect of civilization. But then it started to decay from within. Lost of morals and a singular goal eventually led to it's downfall. Some say it was the lead pipes which transported their drinking water that made Romans decrepit and insane. What's will be America's reason why it fell from glory? Greed? Warmongering? Lost of morals? Insanity?

Liberals love the comparison with Europe regarding health care, education, welfare benefits, standards of living, low crime rates... You would be in absolute dismay if you knew some of the immigration policies in force in many european countries. For example, in 2006 the Swiss voted a reform ending low-skilled non european immigration. David Cameron and Mark Rutte (both centre-right) are advocating to put a numeric limit on this kind of immigration and cut the Welfare they benefit from. Or Sarkozy. Or Merkel saying that she rejects parallel societies (a politically correct way to say multiculturalism). Etc, etc. In this case you don´t like to compare.

Well, that all depends - would you condone or support rounding them all up en masse, man, woman, and child, using whatever force needed to put them in concentration (internment) camps?
If you can answer yes to that, then yes, that makes you a fascist, no better than the Nazis.
Consider:
How many would die in the process? What would you consider to be acceptable losses? How many men, women, and children would have to die before it became unacceptable to you? 1? 10? 100? 1,000? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? 10,000,000?
You don't have to answer right away - take your time. Think it through. Carefully. I already have - my answer is ZERO. Not on my watch. Not in America - we're supposed to be better than that, aren't we?
And yes, I said concentration camps instead of internment camps - any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

"would you condone or support rounding them all up en masse, man, woman, and child, using whatever force needed to put them in concentration (internment) camps?"
It's almost an absurd argument. I would prefer that we cracked down and deported them. (They may have to be held until arrangements are made to deport them, but hopefully not long...it's my understanding that we are already doing this.) I would prefer that we secured our border. I would prefer that we reserved taxpayer aid for people who are legal residents. I would prefer stiffer penalties for people knowingly hiring illegals. I would prefer that MAYBE we would consider changing our immigration laws and protections to resemble those of other nations. As it is, we are the Mecca.
In the process of actually DOING SOMETHING...I would hope that no one would die. The concentration camps put JEWS and others in gas chambers and ovens...so there IS a difference. I would never think it ok for someone to die while they were waiting for deportation.
We accept a lot of legal immigrants from numerous places. I'm fine with that. But the bleeding heart idea of saying "open borders" come on in, is hurting us as a nation. It has hurt Arizona. I was there.
No matter how much you guys try, we are NOT Nazi Germany.
The border needs to be secured. Our government owes that to us. It's not just illegal immigrants coming across the border, they have found evidence of terrorists coming in that way too. How f**king stupid are we being for the sake of being benevolent?

Kyl has been tracking the problem since 2002, not long after the September 11 attacks. Since that time, according to an investigation by the House Committee on Homeland Security, intelligence officials have determined members of the terror group Hezbollah have already infiltrated the U.S. by crossing at the southern border."

Long story short: in essence, you said no, you wouldn't condone or support it, so no, that doesn't make you a fascist, and I am relieved to hear it.
However, those calling to round them all up en masse and put them in concentration camps, like Marg Baker, most certainly are.
Nice people representing your party, no?
Want to fix the problem? Enforce the existing laws and sanctions against employers who hire illegals, knowingly or not. If those laws aren't tough enough, up the ante with a mandatory minimum 6 months imprisonment for employers that do, be they a CEO, or Mom and Pop who run the local gas and grocery - no exceptions.
If there's no work for illegals here, the problem solves itself - they'll leave on their own, and not return. Cut off the head, the body dies.

So what is your point? this means people leaning right can't be fascist?
BTW, fascism was a authoritarian movement of left and right ideas in WWI but it shifted towards the far right. Most if not all scholars knew that. Even Mussolini knew that. Taken from one of wiki's sources:
"Benito Mussolini's Doctrine of Fascism regards fascism as right-wing and collectivist, but it also declares that fascism is sympathetic to ameliorating the conditions that brought about the rise of left-wing political movements, such as class conflict socialism and liberal democracy, while simultaneously opposing the egalitarianism associated with the left."
So don't go twisting facts or distorting history, because facts and history don't usually bode well for conservatives.
sanmanAug 15, 2010
on the contrary, facts don't bode well for liberals either, but they make more strenuous efforts to deny them
remember that wikipedia is not a good source for issues which are in contention or dispute, such as what we're discussing
it is left-wing preference for collectivization on all matters which results in persecution of dissenters
calling that a "shift to the right" is just the left's way of shedding responsibility for downsides which are the inevitable consequence of left-wing politics

If I lost my job, and would have to pluck fruit for 3-4$/h I'd stay at home too. If you're working on the books, you'll be making minimum wage... something like 7.50 an hour. Now if you're working off the books, then you'll get what they are willing to pay you as you don't have any way to force them to pay more. A person who is required to make minimum wage cannot compete on wages with someone who is willing to work for half that. The problem is very much in the employers.
The fact that many people aren't willing to work for minimum wages for menial jobs leaves the opportunity for illegals to be hired because the resource pool is about mud puddle deep without them.

illegal immigration is only fuelled because of it being illegal, irony oh irony.
Let me explain. If at one point all illegal immigrants are granted citizenship, and thus legal status, why would an employer pay the same wage (to pluck fruit) to an uneducated immigrant that doesn't speak english, if the uneducated american that does speak english costs the same? There's only an incentive for an employer to contract an illegal because illegals have to shut up as they have no rights. Take that away and there will be no jobs anymore for uneducated immigrants, and economic immigration will almost halt.
We see that in Europe. Western-Europe would be flood be all those Eastern-Europeans that would abuse Shengen to steal our jobs. The contrary is true. We were "flooded" before they entered the EU, now that they are legally allowed to move freely most are returning.

She was invited to speak at a Glenn Beck activist rally. Maybe she doesn't represent mainstream Republicans but she sure seems to represent somebody...

when i run for office in florida, my platform will be to put all stupid people like Marg Baker in internment camps.
dynamojoeAug 15, 2010
Move here. I'll vote for ya. Hell, I'll work for your campaign.
smpaisnutrientsAug 14, 2010
wouldn't these camps cost the taxpayers more then deportation? You have to build them, fill them, stock them, and staff them. I thought the Rightists were up in arms about how much money illegals cost us?
kyanAug 15, 2010
If they hire the illegals to build them, it'll be cheaper.

GOP should stay in a concentration camp for ignorant attitude since Obama became president.

Guess what? The only guy to actually use internment camps in the United States was *gasp* a Democrat. FDR.

People are entering our country illegally for Christ's/Allah's sake. Why are liberals so okay with that? I never understood that.
propethicAug 14, 2010
So internment camps is the solution? Is that what non-liberals believe?
adc86Aug 14, 2010
Why are conservatives not ok with that? Honestly, I've heard "illegal is illegal," but that's extremely hard to buy. A recent traffic study in Grand Rapids, MI discovered that 2% of highway traffic (!!) was going the speed limit of 55, whereas upwards of 95% was going about 70mph. Deport them too? To where? Throw them in jail? How does that help society?
Perhaps some laws have no moral basis?
I can't believe that Republicans don't take the opposite view, that we need to increase legal immigration to its previous levels, making a moral arguments for the free movement of humans, and then use that as reasoning for doing away with the welfare state. It seems like such an easy strategy that could net the Latino vote (Latino presidential approval is down 20 points right now!)
tsk05Aug 14, 2010
To clarify, are you supporting this woman's idea? If so, as a Republican, I find that appalling, we're suppose to stand for more freedoms and less government, this is the exact opposite. Can you clarify?
@ adc86
There are some unjust laws, and I have no problem with things like jury nullification. I am also a legal immigrant to the US. But I don't support ILLEGAL immigration. Immigration laws exist for a reason; would you say our current immigration laws are unfair? Why?Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

yeah interment camps are a great solution. because you dont have to feed them or provide health care in internment camps. oh wait, you do? oh, so its going to still cost us money? maybe we should have them do jobs in prison no american wants to do, like picking fruit
randomgorillaAug 15, 2010
Oh great, now I'm hungry for strawberries...
kyanAug 15, 2010
not only that, the conditions in a camp these days would have to meet strict sanitary and space conditions. In fact, the conditions in that camp could be far better than in a lot of barrios!
I think the solution to this is really to make Arizona another country. All the whites can move out and the illegals can stay. Win-win for everyone!

It's a she.
I bought the idea of amnesty when Reagan was president. We weren't going to do it again. We were sold NAFTA, which was supposed to help prevent illegal immigration.
I often agree with you, but not here. We have terrible unemployment. There are places where illegals are provided with aid paid by the government.
Our immigration rules are more lax than Mexico's.
Something's gotta give.
northmassAug 14, 2010
Illegal immigration has lowered the last few years due to the bad recession, most of them came here for jobs. We should just make the whole process easier and open up our borders so we can at least check whether the immigrants coming in have a record of violent crime. I think this idea would work better, and I think you can agree that it is highly unrealistic to believe that deportation of all illegal immigrants makes any sense. It would cost untold billions of dollars, and honestly I think these people have a right to be here as long as they haven't committed a violent crime.
Even if we had open borders though, we would still have violence in states like Arizona because the drug cartels are now in the United States. I don't think that problem the drug cartels cause will ever go away until we legalize drugs, and cut off the drug cartel's revenue source. Drug cartels are the assh**es who are causing massive violence, not ordinary illegal immigrants.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

"On that one day in April, according to records obtained by ABC 15, Homeland Security officials were holding inmates from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, and the Sudan.
“They’re coming from all over,” Arizona Senator Jon Kyl said. “And one wonders whether some of them are coming in here to commit acts of terror.”
Kyl has been tracking the problem since 2002, not long after the September 11 attacks. Since that time, according to an investigation by the House Committee on Homeland Security, intelligence officials have determined members of the terror group Hezbollah have already infiltrated the U.S. by crossing at the southern border.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

I would love to hear your twisted logic to support your idea that "illegal immigrants have a RIGHT to be here"!
northmassAug 14, 2010
I agree that is scary that terrorists have entered our country illegally, but how can you completely stop that threat unless you completely militarize the border? And not just the southern border, but the northern border and the Alaskan borders. Even if you do that, people could still come here through the ocean, are you going to militarize beaches? I agree this is a huge problem, and that we can have better enforcement of the borders, but I don't see how you can reduce that threat 100%.

@ quirkopatra
I agree that illegal immigration is a big problem. But aren't internment camps an even bigger problem?

TSK - I know that what this woman said has made a lot of people say "Nazi Germany"! But I think she actually said we should hold them and deport them...in short, what we are doing now.
I don't think she just said..."Put them all in camps indefinitely."
tsk05Aug 15, 2010
quirkopatra,
She said "ship them to the middle of the country and build high walls", hence she wants to segregate them from the other prisoners. That reeks of internment camps that we've already had in this country (the Japanese Internment Camps, which were done by Democrats by the way, do we want to repeat their mistakes?).Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

You should call nazis the 27 gobernments of European Union that supported the Directive of Return in 2008 that, among other things, allows detention of illegals up to 18 months before expulsion. You may not know that in Europe (the "enlightened Europe") even the far left does not advocated for automatic citizenship for anyone born on its soil.
beerrulesAug 15, 2010
Yah thats comparable, wanting to deport illegal immigrants and killing between 11 and 17 million people.
