    No, it is not part of 'our' culture. Maybe yours, but not mine.

    Those currently held in detention camps who have applied for asylum, which is not the same as a concentration camp, are free to leave at any time. This is a point you seem to have artfully avoided acknowledging. But it is the truth, and fact. One cannot do that in a 'concentration' camp.

    So how many will you be housing, feeding, clothing, and assisting in finding jobs? After, of course, walking them through the proper procedures to obtain their asylum status, their green card, their social security card, their Drivers License, and purchase a car?

    I choose not to spend the money on asylum seekers, and instead spend my money on US citizens who need temporary assistance, veterans who need assistance, and find ways to help the homeless who already reside here.

    Please send your donations to help those in other countrys to WHO or Unicef, perhaps Russia or Nigeria would appreciate the largess of your money.

    What does that have to do with my post?
    Those held in the detention camps are free to leave. Perhaps you need to do some research.

    You asked about housing and food why do I have to explain. And ok five years in a detention center and lose your child to an American in Missouri. She wanted her child but couldn’t leave to go get her child.I have an example your turn.

    the best way to sum up conservatism is the less government you have the better less laws, less regulations, less taxes, less control
    more freedoms and more liberties

    Wrong.

    Our borders we never open and unregulated. Everybody that came in was documented and accounted for.

    Also... attempting to solve world problems in the back of the US economy, especially through immigration is ignoring the facts.

    Lots of people survived the Nazi camps so they were not that bad. Heck, survivors are still living (so they claim).

    So, the camps are really cheap resorts? I didn't know that. I would like to read about how the people can leave whenever they desire. Can you give me a link?

    Yeah socialism, that's where it's at for sure. Spend spend spend ...putting the country trillions upon trillions in debt. Open borders, take in everyone from third world countries with elementary educations at best and put them on programs. Raise taxes through the roof to support them. And let's not forget to put dozens of regulations on businesses so they take them outside the US and therefore loss of jobs putting more on food stamps and welfare. After the money's completely gone which won't take long after running with a deficit of a hundred trillion, inflation will hit the roof...speaking of, what is the inflation rate now in Venezuela?
    1,000,000%? Well one thing good about it, at least now they can use their worthless currency for toilet paper since they ran out of the other kind.

    What you suggest will never be feasibly possible when dealing with mankind on planet earth. As long as there are lazy people who just want to be carried and there are greedy power hungry corrupt politicians who will burden their citizenry with paying for them just so they can shore up votes, it will never work for the working class.

    Although I usually refuse to do research for liberals, I felt strongly enough about this issue bc your answers were so cavalier regarding not only about the brainwashing of our kids, but the bullying and stifling of conservative's 1st amendment rights as well. There are hundreds of articles and incidences of children and parents complaining about this. Strangely NONE could be found about conservatives doing the same when typing in the search bar, "political bias taught in schools." Here are just a few.

    You are already trillions in debt and it has nothing to do with socialism. Eventually you will have to stop comparing Venezuela to America because there is little that is true in that meme. Venezuela's troubles are a result of tying so much of the economy to a single commodity, an inability to deal with cronyism and corruption and the policy of sanctions and hostility from an America that feels it has the right to dictate to countries everywhere what kind of economic system they are allowed to have.

    Your debt is due to irresponsible tax policies, out of control military spending to prop up an aggressive, belligerent and ultimately failing foreign policy of regime change and war around the world and a political class that lines it's own pockets and that of it's corporate handlers while imposing austerity on ordinary Americans.

    Socialism has nothing to do with it. Liberal institutions have been for all intents destroyed in your country except in the minds of the far right who think billions in subsidies to corporations are okay but programs to improve the social capital of it's citizens is evil and to be mocked or condemned. .

    It is the Spanish who were, and are, responsible for 'nation building', not the British or Americans. It was also the Spanish who were the 'Imperialists'.

    The Americans took out Noriega and a good argument could be made for doing the same in other corrupt Latin American countries, Ortega being another good example.
