    My Latest. Separating migrant families is barbaric. It's also what the United States has done to MILLIONS of families of color for hundreds of years. You'd be hard pressed to find an extended period in this country when it wasn't common practice.https://theintercept.com/2018/06/20/family-separation-immigration-history-slavery-mass-incarceration/ …

        MVM's Iraq, Afghan, Benghazi & Thailand operations, at relevant tragic times were CIA fronts run by Michael L. Taylor, a well-known Boston serial rapist/child-abductor & torturer @ FBI-CIA-DOJ. Taylor is a close associate of Erik Prince, Blackwater & FSG.

        They took our native kids because we were savages. Took our African kids bc we were property. Took our Japanese American kids bc we were infiltrators. Took our immigrant children because we are called infiltrators and animals. American history.

        In addition, Australia and their respective parliament has done the same with Australian indigenous families ~1910-1970. Look up the Stolen Generations. The country formerly apologized in 2008.

        It’s relevant in that recent US border policy seems to copy Australia’s, right down to the camps: deliberate, highly-publicised, systematic cruelty used as both deterrent and a play for racist votes. Hope you have better luck fighting it there than we have here.

        While were talking about education, the first recipient of the label 'illegal' immigrant were the Chinese when Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. The rest of Asia followed in the Immigration Act of 1917, aka, Asiatic Barred Zone Act.

        The point is, the idea of 'illegal' immigration is steeped in racism.

        Not just migrants. Native American Indians have had their children forcefully taken from them for centuries! Including Canadian First Nations. Shameful practise of the original land grabbers.

        Shaun, please, please, please, can you add one group. They actually take kids from poor whites, too. They did it to my parents. I know they are often the enemy because of their racism, but if this truth could be told at least once it might bring solidarity

        I understand why you are being skeptical, but we have to realise that racism and classism feed each other. We need 2 acknowledge this without effacing reality of white supremacy. If you haven't already read it I would recommend this bookhttps://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/may/24/natives-race-class-ruins-empire-akala-review …
