Merrimack residents and town officials have been betrayed by Concord. An ICE concentration camp no one wanted will open in November. Systematic human rights violations are certain to follow.

How was it possible that ordinary men — bakers, shopkeepers, firefighters, teachers and the like — became a part of the Nazi killing machine? Some combination of propaganda, fear and cultish submission to authority played a role.

Professor - When discussions about immigration or federal enforcement jump straight to comparisons to “the Nazi killing machine”, the conversation stops being productive. That analogy isn’t just historically inaccurate—it shuts down any chance of serious debate. A better starting point is acknowledging that immigration enforcement is a legitimate function of the federal government, and communities like Merrimack are trying to understand what an ICE facility does, how it operates, and what the local impacts might be. If we can keep the conversation anchored in facts—jurisdiction, due‑process requirements, oversight, and community impact—we can have a real discussion instead of trading emotionally charged labels.

The real issues here are practical ones: how to manage illegal immigration, how to balance enforcement with fairness, and how local communities should prepare for federal operations in their area. People can disagree on policy, but it’s far more useful to discuss staffing, transparency, community safety, and the legal framework under which ICE operates than to resort to the most extreme historical comparisons. If we focus on what’s actually happening—why the facility is being proposed, its scope, and how it affects residents, we can have a grounded, constructive conversation that respects both the rule of law and the community’s concerns.

Violent or not ? Why does nobody understand that crossing the border illegally is a crime.

The people who illegally crossed the border during the biden debocle must leave or be removed by any and all means no matter how forceful. Other countries are realizing that masz migration is detrimental to their own culture, immegrants of today are not like those of the past. Today they come with hands out, raping and pilaging the system. In the past they came humble, and looking to assimilate and become American.

Why is the left so bent on protecting these criminals above our own citizens ?

American citizens on the left and right must unite against this common foe for the survival of our country and our culture.

"Why is the left so bent on protecting these criminals above our own citizens ?"

And the answer is:

1) Increase power through seats gained in the legislature based on the Census.

2) Break the system and cause chaos to create a narrative of Oppressor vs. Oppressed.

3) Create an under-the-table system of syphoning taxpayer money through NGO's and lining their pockets.
