con·cen·tra·tion camp

/ˌkänsənˈtrāSH(ə)n ˌkamp/

noun

a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution. The term is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe in 1933–45, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz.

That's what fascists do in every area they touch--immigration, healthcare, education, etc. They start with the most vulnerable & work their way up. You explained immigration. In healthcare, they're starting with Medicaid, then ACA (Medicaid expansion), then all of Medicaid & then Medicare & so on into Social Security (who really controls Medicare), which includes SSI & SSDI.

It's so frustrating & makes me so angry to see all the guardrails fall & also our COTUS being ignored by SCOTUS. Many of these guardrails, like the IG positions & agency separations & impounding Act were done after Watergate. because of Nixon, & now the cancer has spread into all branches, all the way to SCOTUS. Now we're into full blown authoritarianism & it gets worse every day. Sorry I missed the session at 8pm tonight. Something came up. I look forward to getting the slides or whatever you put out. Thanks to both of you for providing all this information.
