Quote:
I've been branded a NAZI in another forum to dare to suggest that illegal immigrants should have no "rights" and thus should not be rounded up and protected, but rounded up, detained on a bread and water diet, then a swift expulsion from the country... along with any lawyers that get in the way.
Your thoughts?

a) what you describe is roughly what happens in the UK, in that illegal immigrants, when found, are usually rounded up, bunged in somewhere like Harmondsworth Detention Centre, then deported. I can't answer for the diet in there, but I doubt it's especially pleasant.
b) except for the lawyers bit, we don't do that yet
c) rounding up lawyers for representing people the state doesn't like is certainly totalitarian, in the sense that it clearly prioritises state power over due legal process
d) the Nazis were certainly totalitarian
e) the accusations of 'Nazi' are therefore not 100% wrong, at least on the lawyers. Sorry about that.
I don't know how to break it to people, but the UK is now notoriously harsh on illegal immigrants. Since this is what you tabloid reading mouth breathers *wanted*, surely you can give the Home Office your support and thanks?
