I used to think Joe Farah was a real journalist.

Detention camps? Hell, this administration can’t even get its sh** together when responding to questions over US attorney firings.

[cdcdawg]

Mr. Farah, your order for one tin-foil hat (heavy duty, two-ply) has been processed. Please allow 3-5 days for delivery.

This should get the DUmmies in a real tizzy. Will make for some good DUFU.

To protect the innocent in case of screaming mobs with pitchforks and flaming torches...

The government should prepare for large scale emergencies. It makes sense they would prepare emergency housing in the case of a large terrorist attack. OTOH a large influx of immigrants?

What’s the problem? Don’t you like the subject?

[Obadiah]

Oh come on. Detention camps? From the article it appears to give the president the authority to build refugee type facilities. It does not give him and power to round up citizens and “detain” them.

What happens if a nuke goes off in LA or NY? What do you do with potentially hundreds of thousands of people and thousands of casualties? This would make Katrina look like a jolly picnic!

An attack on American soil is imminently possible. Those who don’t think so are simply stuck on stupid.

These are the same guys who would be bellyaching about how the government was unprepared for a disaster.

“KBR spokeswoman Jamie Zuieback”

ICE has an Acting Director of Public Affairs with that name also... http://www.ice.gov/about/leadership/opa_bio/jamie_zuieback.htm

Sloppy journalism?

[NonValueAdded]

Detain illegals or citizens fleeing a nuked city?

[nina0113]

Halliburton + Executive Order + Mass Detention Camps = INSANITY.

[B4Ranch]

It’s preparation for this.

"The idea of the KBR contract is to support the Army Corp of Engineers in case we experienced a sudden mass immigration and we had to respond quickly,"

Seesh, it seems we ALREADY have that situation.

“The idea of the KBR contract is to support the Army Corp of Engineers in case we experienced a sudden mass immigration and we had to respond quickly”

But I thought it was impractical to round up illegal immigrant and deport them. < /S >

If I were a Mexican citizen without a lot on the ball, and the US government announced Amnesty with a citizenship track for any Mexican citizen in the United States within the next couple of months, I would high-tail it for the border that very same day, if only to keep my options open.

[weegee]

Am I expected to believe that the same US government that has looked the other way at illegal immigration for decades will suddenly change course after this 12 million is granted amnesty?

Or as these immigrants “move up” in society, will we again make excuses that cheap labor must be permitted to immigrate into the US because no one else wants the work?
