      Concentration camp as defined on Wikipedia:

      A concentration camp is a prison or other facility used for the internment of political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or ethnic minority groups, on the grounds of national security, or for exploitation or punishment.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_camp

      Moreover, it appears that ICE holds approximately 65,765 people in detention. Most of them have no criminal convictions. To say nothing about the mistreatment and abuse that they face - without due process. Some of them have died.

      What the Trump/Miller administration and ICE are doing is beyond horrible. There is no excuse for this.

      This most certainly qualifies as the use of concentration camps and you are dismissing it with a casual, “Jesus you people are insane” comment while tens of thousands are suffering.

      You’re incredibly ignorant of world history. You think watching saving private Ryan and the band of brothers means you understand what happened in WW2, instead of realizing you saw a highly propagandized and tiny sliver of an incredibly complex and long running system that led to concentration camps executing Jews and other “undesirables”, which they didn’t do for roughly 4 years.

      The first thing they did was round them up in German Deportation camps and started deporting them to countries that would take them.

      When countries stopped accepting their deportations without Germany paying them a fee to do it, Germany decided to save money and spend it instead on their war machine across europe.

      So then what to do about all the people costing them money to keep or send out?

      Well, they decided it would be cheaper to experiment on them and execute them, and they could use the money from keeping them alive to keep building their military.

      Which is what they did.

      But you’re not going to read that and care, because you’ve shown you’re so entrenched with your ignorance that you’d rather show your full, unwashed ass in public on this thread, than admit you actually don’t know shit about shit.

      Except they are. Concentration camps didn’t start out murdering everyone, although the ones ICE are running are killing people.

      No, y’all are for thinking immigrants are the real problem for your complete inability to get ahead.

      It’s a combination of capitalism and you people tend to be stupid as fuck all.
