Step by step by increasingly-predictable step.
The really chilling part is that -- right up-front, they say (below) --
these new concentration camps ("detention facilities" if you prefer the
other spin) are "to support the rapid development of new programs" ...
or "react to a national emergency".
Just exactly what "new programs" are in "rapid development"? What kind
of "national emergency" would require such concentration camps?
Oh ... I see ... it's "in the event of an immigration emergency" ... in
case of "an emergency influx of immigrants." (Gawd forbid we'd just
promptly deport them, when a third of a billion dollars can be channeled
to a corporate friend!)
But no! -- it's not that kind of "national emergency". They want to
these concentration camps to "help" in event of "a natural disaster".
Oh, of course! Our government wants multi-use concentration camps -- to
house quake or twister or flood victims, AND imprison fence-jumpers.
And who better to build'n'operate them than our Vice-Chickenhawk's very
own Halburton?!
