Oh yeah...Glen Beck's silly "9/12" foundation held a rally here in Florida today and Marg Baker put forth her idea- Put immigrants in Camps!
Yes, a call from a Republican- one that might get into the Florida Leglislature no less, to put people into camps.
But dont misunderstand her, folks- she's for putting ALL illegal immigrants into camps- not just hispanics. That's the big qualifer there- it's okay, as long as it's not "just" hispanics.
quote: In an interview with Salon today, a Republican candidate for the Florida state Legislature stood by her controversial idea to arrest illegal immigrants and send them to "camps" where they can be held en masse.
"We can ship them out to the middle of the country and put up high walls and leave them there," said Marg Baker, the middle-aged real estate broker vying for the Republican nomination in the state's 48th district, north of Tampa.
Baker was filmed advocating the camps idea at a local meeting of the 9-12 Project, Glenn Beck's activist group, earlier this month -She told Salon today that she was upset at the way some had misinterpreted her comments. "They're trying to think I want to erect some sort of prison camps like over in Germany" -- which she is not, Baker said.
Asked if what she had in mind was more like the Japanese internment camps of the World War II era, Baker said, "something like that. But unfortunately in the Japanese camps they detaineed American citiziens. The only ones I want to detain are the ones who are illegal."
She added, "You've gotta have places for them to eat and sleep and breathe fresh air. It can be a tent city ... You don't want to make them too comfortable or they'll want to come back."
The AP reports that other Republican candidates for the seat have rejected the idea.
Baker's website lists five "reasons" not to tolerate illegal immigrants, including "prostitution."
Continue reading She stressed to Salon that she would want all illegal immigrants, not just Hispanics, put in the camps. Though she added, cryptically, "the people are walking among us, and who knows."
Un-fucking-believable. The sheer hate and stupidity of people in not only my country, but my home state, is staggering and sickening.

I'm reminded of South Park here: "All Canadian-American citizens are to report to one of these death camps right away. ...Did I say death camps? I meant happy camps! Where you will eat the finest meals, have access to fabulous doctors, and be able to exercise regularly!"
Some things never change...

"prison camps like over in Germany"... you mean during that little insignificant event called the Holocaust? I mean, could she have thought of a way to minimize the inevitable conotation more?

Well, unlike the Holocaust, this one will be all-inclusive- they can throw in Muslims, Jews, anyone really-"not just hispanics".
