7 VII 2019: Just short of holocaust

We’ve seen the photographs, heard the reports of the inhumane treatment of migrants at our southern border. I am sure that what we have seen and heard is only part of the horror. Now we learn about the secret Facebook group of thousands of current and retired border guards who share their bigotry, brutality, and sadism with one another. To tell you the truth, I am not surprised. We know what the personnel of the extermination camps were like. Indeed, if to our cages, holding cells, and concentration camps we would add gas chambers and crematoria, we would have our very own Dachau and Auschwitz.
