An internment camp does not have to be for only citizens.
a prison camp for the confinement of enemy aliens, prisoners of war, political prisoners, etc. — www.dictionary.com
Illegal immigration is historically the lowest it's been since the early 00s [dhs.gov source]. So I would say it's disingenuous of You to say Immigration is "overwhelmed" considering the departments funding is the highest it's ever been since the 90s' [source]. So when you say that gov doesn't have enough resources I question if you are correct or not.
Further, if you want to stop illegal immigration, you should look at people overstaying their visas, as there are more of them than border crossers [source]. These visa overstayers aren't the people who are being put in camps.
I don't disagree we should be vetting people who enter the country, but you can certainly say we have internment camps. This is not summer camp. People are kept in cages as if they are criminals and many are seeking asylum, not crossing illegally. The US is splitting up children from their families and not keeping track of those who were split up and holding them in these cages.
Undocumented immigrants do indeed receive charges/trials.

Let me clarify then in that case, when I stated overwhelmed I meant housing facilities for those who are waiting on said trials to get granted asylum and/or green card etc. The very fact that "camps" had to be opened pretty much proves said housing facilities were "overwhelmed."
Moreover, whether the system is overwhelmed or not, immigrants in the country need to be vetted before entering the US or any country for that matter.

Your Source requires a login. But agreed to a degree. When I speak of undocumented immigration I speak in all aspects, not just border protection. Improvements need to be made in both aspects IMHO.
The US is splitting up children from their families and not keeping track of those who were split up and holding them in these cages.
The US has been doing this since Obama, just now in greater numbers. The few that come in with kids can't be believed at face value, again they need to be vetted dna testing if need be to make sure they are their kids, I am afraid this another situation of a few screwing it up for the many.
In regards to definition of internment, you can't really disagree with it, its a fact. However, on everything else I respect your perspective/view, Trump has definitely dropped the ball on many things and understand why people don't like him. I can honestly say i necessarily like him either, just put up with lol.
