Let me tell you how this administration doesn't think it's child abuse to snatch children away from their parents and then lock them in cages with strangers. They don't see these kids or their parents as fully human. They've dehumanized them first. That's the first step here.
The first step of the trans-Atlantic slave trade was to dehumanize Africans. The first step to almost complete genocide of Native Americans was to dehumanize them. Colonizers and oppressors first dehumanize then they victimize. It eases their conscience.
Trump has spent years now dehumanizing border-crosses as animals, rapists, and murderers. He doubled down on it earlier today. That step is an essential one. That dehumanization precedes genocide. It's what makes it palatable & acceptable to millions - as polls now show.
Agreed. They have planned this from the beginning
Studyied & praised Joe Arpaio's tent cities
Pardoned JA
Re-opened private prisons
Removed US from Human Rights Council
after years of referring to a population as animals, rapists & things
This is a premeditated and well thought out plan to profit from human suffering

Once the State successfully demonizes & dehumanizes a group of people, it can do almost anything to them without fear of backlash. We've seen it with African Americans, Native Americans, Japanese Americans & now Latino immigrants.

Just like they have done black people for centuries!
Precisely correct!
Yup...1) they’re brown - wrong color; 2) they speak something Mexican or whatever, not English - wrong language; 3) they’re poor, can’t buy stuff - wrong income profile.
That is straight from the historical racist handbook. First, deny their humanity in every way imaginable. Everything after that is easy.
A good start will be to humanize Stephen Miller’s forehead with a baseball bat!
Nope, that's a different set of children. The 2000 are ones who were separated from parents.
I thnk she's insinuating that the adults they're being taken from aren't their actual parents.
10,000 huh? You know this how?
But I thought you said they were #childtrafficking victims.
So are "most" of them unaccompanied - or victims of child trafficking?
