First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

1. I wonder if Prescotts ancester's are looking for ways they can use

then as forced labor?

2. was this detention camps authorized under the patriot act or homeland security

to me immigrant detention centers do not pass the smell test. I believe we should have open borders with immigration being as it has served this country so well for so long. the problem is the people who brake the law and hire the illegal ones thats bugs me. Let the same person come here with the blessings of our laws and I will and do embrace them as my brother/sister future citizens. After all thats how my grand parents and great grand parents got here. There is just so much 'W'rong with how things have turned since this * cabal has been installed that I not sure anyone can figure out where to start to clean it up. I thing thats the problem that our Congress Critters are up against today.
This battle we are involved in now will be long remembered not for so much what we lost but for setting the stage for making possible ammendments to our Constitution or whatever it takes to ensure this never happens again. methinks
