An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop using my tax dollars to pay for illegal concentration camps in El Salvador

19 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I’m not personally sure we can continue to honestly call this prison in El Salvador a “prison” and not a “concentration camp.”  The Holocaust Encyclopedia makes this distinction: ”What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” So we need to face up to the fact that the United States government is funding a concentration camp. The United States government is illegally arresting legal migrants, illegally deporting them, and illegally incarcerating them in a concentration camp. We are a nation that is abducting and deporting legal migrants and placing them in US-funded extra-national concentration camps. These concentration camps are paid for with our tax dollars and I AM NOT OK WITH THIS! Stop allowing this to happen and using my hard earned tax dollars to fund it!
