Texas Offering LAND to someone who wants to DEPORT people has NOTHING to do with building Concentration Camps!
I’ve read the whole thing from top to bottom and “concentration camps” was mention a whopping zero times.
You either read headlines and assume things or just plainly don’t know how to read.
Parent said it has NOTHING to do with building concentration camps. So it would be odd to expect that word in the article. Or did you realize they were being sarcastic? Then I guess you just didn't like the joke and responded with being pedantic to distract from the point.
Republicans have zero empathy, therefore zero humor or sarcasm function. It's usually beaten out of them by their father or mother.
Oh I get it, parent is bringing up a point unrelated to the article so we can discuss that instead of the issue of mass deportations! I don’t do sarcasm I guess.
You also don't do logical conclusions apparently.
Where do you think millions of people will be held while awaiting deportation?
Where do they deport someone to who does not have citizenship somewhere else? Right, you don't. You keep them in camps.
Read a history book. Like no seriously.
Many things can be true. You can be sarcastic along with all the other observations made.
Do us all a favor and define concentration camp.
