GOP candidate calls for internment camps for ‘people that snuck into the country.’ Speaking at a rally sponsored by Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project, GOP state house candidate in Florida, Marg Baker, endorsed building concentration camps for undocumented immigrants:
We can follow what happened back in the 40s or 50s. I was just a little girl in Miami, and they built camps for the people that snuck into the country, because they were illegal. They put them in the camps, and they shipped them back. We can do that. It’s not clear just what camps Baker is referring to, but in the 1940s, the United States did indeed build a series of concentration camps detaining thousands of Japanese-Americans. Years later, President Ronald Reagan signed an official apology for America’s brief experiment with concentration camps. Baker should pay heed to Reagan’s example.

Carl Paladino, a Tea Party Candidate for the NY governors seat, has also suggested using underpopulated prisons as work camps for those on welfare.
Gotta love that conservative movement alright.

quote: In an interview with the Enterprise Thursday, Paladino said he wants to create something similar to the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s to help address unemployment among young people, which is higher than with many other groups.
"These kids, unless we give them some way of earning some money, are going to resort to crime," Paladino said. "We're going to give them an opportunity to serve in the CCCs."
Paladino said the young people could do a number of jobs, such as rehabilitating state parks and working at hospitals. He said the dormitories in some minimum-security prisons could be converted into housing for them and Department of Correctional Services employees could be retrained as counselors to run the programs.
"We will not close any of our prison facilities," Paladino said. "We will adjust them for our current needs of giving jobs. And this is a program that I'm hell-bent on."

I dont agree with that at all. What I would like to know, is what does the left think we should do? What is THEIR solution? Why wont Obama just come out and say what the plan is, what he is REALLY thinking instead of just saying he wants "comprehensive immigration reform"

"Unfortunately, they’re all stupid, unworkable, hate based, repugnant, preposterous, moronic ideas, but"
THEY'RE ALL....sure. ALL of them. That is why you dont have any credibility. They arent ALL like that. You have hundreds of Republicans, and hundreds of Democrats.

The CCC became the most popular New Deal program among the general public, providing jobs for a total of 3 million young men from families on relief.[1] Implicitly the CCC also led to awareness and appreciation of the outdoors and the nation's natural resources, especially for city youth.[2] The CCC was never considered a permanent program and depended on emergency and temporary legislation for its existence.[3] On June 30, 1942 Congress voted to eliminate funding for the CCC, formally ceasing active operation of the program.[4]
During the time of the CCC, volunteers planted nearly 3 billion trees to help reforest America, constructed more than 800 parks nationwide that would become the start of most state parks, developed forest fire fighting methods and a network of thousands of miles of public roadways, and constructed buildings connecting the nation's public lands.[5]
