    It’s so repulsive to see people cheering for what is basically 80% the same thing as the Holocaust - different end result but otherwise very similar.

    Economists have said it would tank the economy and cause inflation - notwithstanding the cost.

    Is it going to actually happen or is this Build The Wall 2.0?

     
    How the hell do they reconcile using FEMA money to build these concentration camps?

    The private prison industry is raking in taxpayer money to house ordinary folks who haven’t committed any crimes.
    “The funding stream was separate from money Congress set aside for FEMA to cover disaster relief”


    I guess that’s how.

    That’s not particularly well written, but I don’t think the sentence fragment you posted means what you think it means. Here’s the entire paragraph:

    “Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said DHS will tap FEMA’s $650-million shelter and services program to fund Florida’s facility. Congress during the Biden administration directed DHS to distribute the money to state and local governments to cover the cost of sheltering migrants. Nonprofits were also eligible. The funding stream was separate from money Congress set aside for FEMA to cover disaster relief.”

    The sentence that refers to the funding stream being separate refers to the Biden program. Which I know you didn’t like because you have complained about it on here. Odd that you don’t mind it now, isn’t it?

    Noem states that they will use the FEMA shelter and service program to fund these concentration camps. That sounds a lot like disaster relief money to me.

    So if you still maintain it’s separate, where is it coming from?

    How that is within FEMA’s mission authorization is a fair question. That money was programmed by the appropriations, agencies don’t have carte blanche to spend appropriations however they wish.

    Do you think anyone will sue to stop this misappropriation?

    Probably along the lines it isn’t from the disaster relief funds and there is an emergency situation to gather up, confine and deport millions of undocumented immigrants.

    I didn’t say it was separate. The article pointed that out. I Just pointed the funding distinction. It is money that was not designated for disaster relief.
     
    On the morning of 2 May, teenager Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio was driving to his landscaping job in North Palm Beach with his mother and two male friends when they were pulled over by the Floridahighway patrol.

    In one swift moment, a traffic stop turned into a violent arrest.

    A highway patrol officer asked everyone in the van to identify themselves, then called for backup. Officers with US border patrol arrived on the scene.


    Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men*, two of whom are undocumented.

    They appear to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: “You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.” Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use “funny” and quipping: “You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.”

    The footage has put fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used by US law enforcement officials as the Trump administration sets ambitious enforcement targets to detain thousands of immigrants every day.

    “The federal government has imposed quotas for the arrest of immigrants,” said Jack Scarola, an attorney who is advocating on behalf of Laynez-Ambrosio and working with the non-profit Guatemalan-Maya Center, which provided the footage to the Guardian. “Any time law enforcement is compelled to work towards a quota, it poses a significant risk to other rights.”…….

     
    This woman makes a whole lot of sense about this stuff:


    One of the things she's saying is that the farmers, pushing anti-immigration policies and supporting anti-immigration politicians just to keep a near slave labor force, forked up and caught the car with the MAGA monster they helped create, but can't control. Mixed metaphors are fun.

    It's not just farmers. It's meat processors and packers, car washes, construction, janitorial and a whole slew of other blue collar industries.

    If it's the same FEMA shelter program that pays for people displaced due to hurricanes and other severe weather, then a lot of people in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and/or South Carolina are going to bet left to fend for themselves if a major hurricane hits any of those states over the next 3 months. Then there's the other severe weather displacements in the other 43 states.

    You claim that, but the article isn't clear on that, because it's written poorly and ambiguously.

    Are they paying law enforcement officers a bounty/"bonus" of $10,000 for each person they abduct?

    That’s not what the article says. It’s just not. Noem said the opposite in fact. During the Biden admin they used a separate stream because it was set up that way with Congress. Nowhere in that article does it say what you are saying.

    You will need a source that actually shows it’s not disaster relief money, because that short article doesn’t say that.
