"I'm uncomfortable being confronted with the consequences of my choices, and the impact they have on what I now realize are human beings. Couldn't we set up the unpalatable internment camps somewhere remote where they don't make me feel like some sort of fascist?"
Except they're more uncomfortable with them being around their home.
Social Circle’s water and sewer systems are already near capacity. The town usually has only two or three police officers on duty. And residents have raised concerns that the warehouse most likely to be used for the project is a 20-minute walk from the town’s elementary school.
Ah, so they are the "somewhere remote". Sucks to be them, I guess. Sucks to be the people caged in a warehouse in a place with "water and sewer systems near capacity" more though.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust ICE agents anywhere near a school, either.
Kristallnahct in my backyard.
Show me a warehouse that was built with enough water and sewage to house thousands of people.
What if you don't think of them as people? Does that change things?
If they can convert warehouses to house detainees, why not use them for homeless people instead? Unless you're not actually going to convert them for housing people, but for concentration camps that don't meet legal requirements for housing human beings....or even animals.
Warehouses are not a place to put people. Let’s just get that out of the way up front. People need natural light, windows, and privacy.
They've already proposed warehousing homeless people, as well as anyone with "mental disabilities" (which apparently includes stuff like taking Wellbutrin).
They don’t want homeless shelters for Americans why would they want somewhere for people they think should be expelled lol
Also nobody wants a jail near them anyway
In Australia, such things are called NIMBYism. "Not in My Back Yard". NIMBYs are happy for XYZ (public housing, injecting rooms, prisons, waste disposal, military barracks, etc), but not where they have to be aware of it.
NIMBY's are extremely common in America too lol.
Of course they don't - anymore than the residents of Auschwitz, Treblinka or Chelmno wanted concentration camps in their vicinity.
If they don't like living next to warehouses, they better get ready to live next to ovens. Deregulated and unfiltered.
Regional environmental regulations mean that most U.S. crematoriums have scrubbing or filtering systems, such as after-chambers that burn and neutralize pollutants like mercury emissions from dental fillings.
“Most filtration systems are focused on reducing metals and particulate matter and nitrous oxide”
Think of all the jobs it will create! /s
