I’ve been saying for some time that it isn’t enough to rail against the conditions in the concentration camps currently being filled with those seeking asylum in the U.S. We need to propose some solutions. Today I received a communication that offers solutions–or at least ways in which we can support those attempting to institute measures to end the atrocities in these camps. Here is a link to view what is happening in the camps–many of them run by a big-time contributor to Trump and several senators as well as a list of things you can do to help.
Some excerpts from the link above:
But why are these camps any different from the detention centers we’ve been hearing about for the last year? Elizabeth C. McLaughlin explains why:
“These concentration camps (let’s call them what they are) will be under the control of the Department of Homeland Security, but within the Department of Defense. Unlike ICE facilities, which allow site inspectors inside, there will be no inspection of military-run camps.
The military will be able to deny access to anyone it chooses. No media. No oversight. Lawyers will not be allowed in. Human rights monitors will not be allowed in. The camps will also be protected airspace, meaning that no drones can fly over them to take pictures of what’s going on inside. The Trump administration will be able to conduct itself in whatever way it wants to without anyone knowing what’s going on inside.”

I with I could do more, but locally, there’s nothing TO do and out in the big world, we have neither the physical or financial resources to do much more than keep posting material, keep writing. This state is already almost at war with DC about protecting our immigrants — and there are a LOT of them since we are a port city. There are no camps here or even within driving distance. All of this is taking place in the southwest (mostly) and nearby — I suppose for obvious geographical reasons. I can reblog your post and I WILL do that tomorrow. If we reblog, but not simultaneously, I think it has more effect.

Yes the point is to do what we can. Just unconscionable not to do so.

This whole situation is deplorable and I can’t believe that this is what the country I live in and love has become. Thank you Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and all of his silent enablers in Congress. Shame on all of them.

I love this guy’s suggestion: Let’s start calling them TrumpCamps.
