Trump revives plan to separate immigrant children from parents — a tactic used by Nazi Germany

The Trump administration is contemplating resurrecting one of the most heinous practices of the 20th century under the guise of stopping illegal immigration from Central America, according to the Washington Post.

In a report by Nick Miroff, the Department of Homeland Security is evaluating separating detained children from their parents as one of several anti-immigration measures in response to an increase in migrants crossing the Mexican border.

“These measures, described on condition of anonymity because they have not been publicly disclosed, would also crack down on migrants living in the United States illegally who send for their children,” Miroff wrote. “That aspect of the effort would use data collected by the Department of Health and Human Services to target parents for deportation after they attempt to regain custody of their children from government shelters.”

Separating children from their parents was a notorious tactic used by Nazi Germany in its mass arrests of Jews and other targeted populations during World War II. In North America, the U.S. and Canadian governments also separated Native American children from their families a century ago.

2. We are one Reichstag fire event away from total Nazism IMO

Or a nice little nuclear war with NK might do the trick as well.

Must not speak ill of Dear Leader for Life, Commander Bone Spurs in time of perpetual war huh?

3. Americans are infected with "It can't happen here."

Too bad the book by that title isn't required reading.
