    From the article (thanks @ditty@lemm.ee) it’s completely clear that:

    a. This is just a temporary holding camp until the illegal migrants can be repatriated back to their original countries

    b. This isn’t even a US camp - it’s a Panamanian camp - so if you want to be mad about the unconfirmed conditions of the camp, you should be mad at Panama

    c. This is in no way a concentration camp, and divisive, intentionally inflammatory one-liners like this from talking heads on Twitter-likes continue to be the bane of public discourse.

        I’m pretty sure it’s also lined with inflammatory rhetoric, so I think I’ll just keep reading original sources and waiting for facts that are supported by evidence.

          If the past 8 years aren’t enough for you to see where things are headed, I’m guessing you are in the “it’s not happening until it affects me personally” camp.

      Wow you dodge the entire issue of the US Constitution and legal Asylum so well. I’d like to see you in a Dodgeball game.

      Nothing is more permanent than temporary.

      If they were motivated to do permanent well, they wouldn’t have bothered with temporary.

        Panama all but made it clear that they don’t even want these migrants in the first place - why on earth would they then imprison them permanently on their soil at significant cost and potential political backlash now that they’re out of the US’s jurisdiction?

        Like, it’s obviously possible that’s the case, but I can’t see a reason to do so that makes any sense.

          Do they have a choice? Are alternatives mired in bureaucracy? Can we JAQ all day?

          I’m commenting on specifically on your point of being “just a temporary” camp somehow excusing poor conditions. If I only put my dick in your ass temporarily, does that not infringe on your dignity as a person?

            The conditions don’t seem all that poor for a temporary holding camp in Panama for people who will be leaving the country shortly, so as long as this doesn’t become a more permanent situation, I don’t think it’s infringing on anyone’s dignity, and I have no problem with it whatsoever.

              Alright, I’m putting my dick in your ass. It’s not that bad for a temporary situation.

              I’m gentle, I don’t think it would infringe on your dignity, and I have no problem with it whatsoever.

              Please go shower.
