Florida Plans More 'Camps' While Biden Hawks 'Democracy'
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants more 'detention camps' after local law enforcement made 20,000 immigration-related arrests in less than a year. The article frames this as Florida playing an 'out-sized role' in federal immigration enforcement, a polite way of saying the state has militarized its border policies against economic migrants. One might wonder if this aggressive domestic policy,
bordering on mass detention, would be condemned by the State Department if it were enacted by, say, a non-allied nation. Instead, the normalization of 'camps' for non-citizens within American borders continues, often with bipartisan silence from those quick to denounce similar actions elsewhere. While leaders decry 'authoritarianism' abroad, specific domestic policies appear to raise no such
concern, particularly when targeting vulnerable populations.
