Please, go on. I would love to hear more about your defense of concentration camps.
I said I do not agree with collective punishment. In no way should a Chinese person be deported or put in a camp because a different Chinese person was engaged in espionage. Only people found guilty of espionage should be deported, period.
What I’m saying is that Chinese espionage is based in reality, unlike the claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets.
Your naïveté is not really that endearing. Could you be naïve about something else, like say whether cats will steal something off the kitchen counter?
In what way is it naive to say that Chinese espionage is real?
Or are you implying that we should deport all Chinese people because a handful of espionage actually happens? Because that’s morally abhorrent.
If you’re making a claim, please cite your sources.
It's not. But your faith in the system and due process is.
Agreed on all points. Trump is intentionally using a legitimate but small problem to excuse and fuel his overt racism.
Espionage from many countries is real. It's an incredibly poor justification for deportation or confinement without due process, though.
I 100% agree. If you read my comments you’ll see that I said we should not deport people who haven’t been found guilty of espionage. Collective punishment is evil.
