For two days you people, you motherfuckers, including the president and vice president, have been explaining to me that the horrific conditions in the migrant concentration camps are the fault of congressional Democrats for not providing sufficient funding, so let’s get this precisely straight.
Congress has legislatively capped the number of migrants ICE can legally hold and they have funded the department accordingly. They’ve done this purposefully as per their constitutionally defined powers.
Trump is under no legal requirement to detain the people he’s imprisoned under those conditions. In fact Congress has directed exactly the opposite. ICE could, and should, be scheduling a court date and releasing them into the community to be with their friends and families, monitoring as required, as Congress has mandated.
But he’s not releasing them, he’s keeping them, in unsafe, sometimes deadly conditions, in order to pressure Congress.
When you Trump people endorse the present regime of migrant detention, you are baldly, openly, proclaiming your endorsement for literally abusing and torturing children in order to pressure congress into enacting your policy goals.
That is what you’re doing. That is a simple, straightforward, transparent, account of what the president is doing and what you are supporting. There is no other way to describe what’s happening. It’s not confusing or complex, you are nakedly doing just this. You know it’s happening, you want it to happen.
You are explicitly willing to abuse, torture, and kill children in service to your politics.
You are monsters now.
What if Congress didn’t authorize any more money to this process? How many more dead, sick, tortured children would be all right with you? What policies are worthy of those sacrifices?
How many abused children is the wall worth? Surely the wall has got to be worth some suffering, right? Can we stuff children five at a time into dog kennels, if it gives us the wall? Can we starve 500 children to death if it brings back coal? How about Obamacare? Can we start throwing kids against the wall and executing them to get rid of Obamacare?
Look at what you’ve become. See what you’ve become, like the rest of us have had to.
You're monsters now.
I’m not even ashamed of America anymore, because this is so far removed from any idea of America any decent person held in my lifetime I can’t connect it to the people around me. I can’t wrap my head around it. You’ve become something so openly malignant, so flagrantly wrong, so degenerate, it feels useless to even address you as though you’re moral beings.
I don’t believe it’s possible to appeal to your compassion or sense of morality. I don’t know how to address your humanity anymore. As far as I can tell, whatever humanity was there, in each of you, has dissolved entirely into a toxic quagmire of terror and rage and blind, inchoate hatred.
There's no more to say, there are no more arguments to be made.
Because you’re monsters now.
Someday this is going to be over. Someday, and maybe someday very soon, people like you, people so driven and debased by their hatred and fear and bile, will no longer be in power. History is going to tell a story, then, and it’s going to tell that story on you. History is watching.
We’re watching.
Look at what you’re doing, look at what you’ve allowed yourself to become. Look at what you’re saying, look at what you’re excusing.
Look at what you’re supporting.
Look at what you are.
It’s not the migrants, the Mexicans, the Central Americans. It’s not the Iranians or terrorists or communists or post-modernists. It’s not the SJW’s or trans people.
Brothers, sisters, you’re the monsters now.
