Default GOP candidate calls for internment camps for ‘people that snuck into the country.’
Think Progress:
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/08/12/...tration-camps/

Speaking at a rally sponsored by Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project, GOP state house candidate in Florida, Marg Baker, endorsed building concentration camps for undocumented immigrants:
We can follow what happened back in the 40s or 50s. I was just a little girl in Miami, and they built camps for the people that snuck into the country, because they were illegal. They put them in the camps, and they shipped them back. We can do that.It’s not clear just what camps Baker is referring to, but in the 1940s, the United States did indeed build a series of concentration camps detaining thousands of Japanese-Americans. Years later, President Ronald Reagan signed an official apology for America’s brief experiment with concentration camps. Baker should pay heed to Reagan’s example.

Florida just seems to abound with these nutjobs. Her district is a fairly upscale community replete with golf courses, lake homes and gated condo complexes. She's a joke.

And, probably, illegal aliens working as domestic aides and landscapers.

Along those same lines, the Rachel Maddow show went down to the Arizona-Mexico border region recently and spoke with both law enforcement officials and citizens about the rage surrounding their Mexican immigration and immigrant crime situation.

The response: Crime is down and we actually have the situation under control. All that anti-immigrant rhetoric is coming from the rich folks up in Maricopa County, which is nearly 100 miles from the Mexican border.
