<p>Even if the current state of immigration policy was forged in a bipartisan agreement(it wasn't), it would be inhumane and I would condemn it.<p>Fortunately the Republicans, specifically Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, can be shown to have a record of dehumanizing people to the point of cruelty.<p>As far as anyone could tell they were behind the effort to separate children from their families, and the decision to intentionally destroy records, and prevent the recording of data, which ultimately left over a thousand children orphaned to this very day.<p>I know someone in CBP who volunteered to try help sort that situation out, ready to get on a plane, paying out of pocket, and they were told to stand down by leadership.<p>The republican-led executive branch wanted to inflict pain despite the law, and despite "policy".<p>And now those same people (Homan and Miller) are behind the door-to-door raids, asking people for their papers, building detention centers(even though we're supposed to be sending them back home...), and targeting political enemies.<p>Obama managed to deport 3 million people without this excess use of cruelty, civil rights violations, manpower, or money.<p>This is something else.<p>This level of hatred towards the other is the type of seed that may or may not grow into a holocaust. It's understandable if some people want to kill it before it sprouts by drawing obvious parallels.</p>

<p>I wanted to play devil's advocate here, but unfortunately did find an example of a "politically disapproved position" in frumple's post history:<p>"The deportations will continue regardless of the tantrums of the hysterical and mentally ill."<p>Which ironically is similar to some "1939 Germany" views.</p>

<p>My point isn’t about the advancement of technology, it is about theft and destruction disguised as technology.<p>If what happened to my wife happened to Warhol the equivalent would be someone tearing his paintings off the gallery wall and selling xeroxed versions with sharpie written over them.<p>However your ultimate points are that art can’t be business, which in turn means artists shouldn’t necessarily be compensated, which defies reality and morality.</p>
