    This is exactly the same semantical nonsense they used to handwave Obama’s deportations as well

    “He’s not deporting them, he’s RETURNING them”, never mind that the end result is the same

      It’s kinda funny to see it from the other side though. It’s usually “nooo the kids aren’t in cages, they’re uhhh containment shelters!”

      This time it’s “the kids aren’t even in cages! It’s just a containment shelter!”

        STOP USING ANTI-LIBERAL LANGUAGE

        Instead of saying “cages” say “containment shelter”

        Instead of saying “deported” say “returned home”

        Instead of saying “escaping economic conditions that exist bc of U.S. imperialism” say “coming to sell drugs”

        Instead of saying “the wall is a waste of money” say “build that wall!”
