re: #34 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

This is such an incredible clusterfuck. How do we learn their names? It’s safe to say that none of these kids speak English. A large number of them can’t talk yet. An even larger number don’t speak Spanish!

How many scholars in the country are familiar with the dozens of languages that they do speak? How many different people would you have to collect to make sure you had all the possibilities covered?

Are you going to fly this linguistic experts group to each and every one of the dozens of internment facilities scattered all across the country? What could the kids tell you about how to find their parents even if you could talk to them? What about the ones who are too young to talk? Is their language acquisition process going to be permanently disrupted?

Insert “Endless Screaming” tweet here.

Fuck.

This is like the military regime in Argentina or the libertarian regime in Chile.
