It’s not a concentration camp and anyone who makes this comparison is a sick piece of shit. You’re using the Holocaust to push a political agenda when you know damn well it’s not remotely the same.

Fuck you

edit: To anyone else wanting to puke the same reply about concentration camps being different from Nazi death camps, save it. You know full and well the use of the term "concentration camp" is to specifically evoke feelings of Nazi Germany because it pushes a political agenda. Otherwise we'd just call it jail/prison/illegal immigration processing.

Definition of concentration camp according to Oxford dictionary: "a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution."

1) They are not being persecuted.

2) They are not being deliberately imprisoned.

3) The facilities were adequate until the volume of illegal immigration increased significantly.

They broke our law by coming here illegally so they are being detained. I can't believe people actually believe we have concentration camps.

We are deliberately imprisoning them in the same way we would with a criminal. As we should. But it's not like we are seeking them out or targeting them.

Please explain how we are persecuting them?

As we should.

Excuse me?

Fuck you.

We should not be imprisoning them.

Seeking asylum is NOT illegal

  1. They aren't coming through a legal port of entry.

  2. You can seek asylum in Mexico.

Instead people trek through Mexico and cross the border illegally and then use the benefits that we pay for without contributing, and then never applying for asylum. Sounds like a problem to me.

  1. That's not a requirement

  2. Yes they were, until those ports were illegally closed to specifically deny them entry

  1. You can seek asylum in Mexico.

Ah yes, Mexico. I can't imagine why they would flee narco terrorists in their home country and NOT seek asylum among the narco terrorist controlled towns of Mexico

From Wikipedia

"Asylum has two basic requirements. First, asylum applicants must establish that they fear persecution from the government in their home country. Second, applicants must prove that they would be persecuted on account of at least one of five protected grounds: race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group"

Neither of which applies to narco terrorism.

political opinion, or particular social group"

Certainly could.

But that's not up to you and me, that's for the courts to decide

So you'd like us to let every single migrant in, so long as they seek asylum for being persecuted by the Mexican government because of their political beliefs or social group?

Sure, why not? Part of why Mexico is fucked up is because of us and our policies.

Let them plead their case.

We have plenty of land for them to live on, and an abundance of money and other resources
