In what sounded a bit like an Alex Jones fever dream, former Kansas Secretary of State and potential Trump administration appointee Kris Kobach suggested Wednesday that the government create “processing town” detention centers for asylum-seekers along the southern border.

Instead of selling “the thousands of empty mobile home trailers that the United States owns right now,” Kobach told Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs in an interview, “deploy them to border cities and create processing towns that are confined.”

“And so when someone comes in and falsely claims asylum, we don’t release them for six months onto the streets of the United States, we process them right there in that camp, where they have the three square meals, they’re living in a nice mobile home,” Kobach said. “And then as soon as they’re done, as soon as the claim is rejected, they’re on the next plane back home.”

Kobach also urged the Department of Homeland Security to publish the final version of a proposed change to the so-called Flores settlement, spelling out, in Kobach’s words, “how we can detain entire families together.”

1. Not sure he understand the costs

Ya let 'em go, they feed and house themselves. You detain them, you're on the hook for food, water, shelter, medical care, child education...

That ain't gonna be cheap.

[PSPS]

5. Plus there's even higher costs when you figure in the ovens.

[zipplewrath]

6. Oooooo!!!!

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

11. i admitted to my counselor

that i will not be surprised if they start killing the refugees.
he's constantly testing the water and getting away with every fucking thing. why not?

7. Okay

Go look up a picture of a prisoner barracks at Treblinka...because that's the kind of shelter, Kobach is talking about. Look up Mauthausen and read about the child education system that was set up there, or the medical care that was provided!

Why do you think that POS wants these camps in secluded areas...so that no one knows what's really happening!!!

The moment someone begins advocating for camps for a specific group of people, that's when you know that what Hitler and the Nazis did in Europe can be repeated here in the United States, by white nationalists like Kobach and Dobbs!!!

[zipplewrath]

10. Oh sure

I mean, there was no ACLU in Nazi Germany. But it is important to oppose these things before they get anywhere near that point.

Eradication!!!!

9. processing plants?

just no

12. "...as soon as the claim is rejected..."

Despite KK's Nazi nature or rather, because of it, he showed his hand there in that he believes all asylum claims are hoaxes. And as awful as that proposal is, you would expect to hear something like "...as soon as the claim is evaluated and a determination made...".

Actually, in the America I still believe in, that statement would have never been made.

13. After a review by forum hosts...locking.

Kobach is not serving in any government office/position; this proposal of his is the opinion of a failed candidate for Governor
