I have never heard of a concentration camp where the inmates were free to simply walk home if they desire.


Absolutely. They came by choice, are getting fed pretty good meals, and medical care. Don't like? Walk your ass back home. No one is stopping you

How dare you compare these people to what the Jews went through. It's insulting to Jews. They aren't being tortured, beaten, starved to death, having medical experiments being performed on them or even straight up attempted genocide.

Japanese went through our own concentration camps that were not very pleasant. But to compare these people and their experiences to a concentration camp is ludicrous at best

This. It's extremely insulting to the Jews, Roma, disabled, gays, Communists, and others that suffered unprecedented evil and brutality in the WW2 concentration camps to even remotely compare the border internment camps to them.

I'm not some literalist troll who's going to say only the nazi WW2 camps can be called concentration camps. You want to compare things like the Soviet gulags or Pol Pot's extermination camps to them, that's totally fair and reasonable.

But this? NO. I hate Trump, but stop disrespecting the hardships and tortures the victims of the nazis faced by comparing Holocaust victims to what he's doing to illegal immigrants. It really pisses me off.


It literally meets all the definitions of a concentration camp. The reason we are more comfortable with the term interment camp is because its our nice way of saying what we did to the Japanese was ok. The semantics of the issue are far less important than what is actually happening. Its not ok that we are treating people like this.

I agree interment camp is a better term to use.
It's still not ok. What we did to the Japanese-American citizens was wrong. What Trump is doing to the illegal immigrants now is wrong.
But it's on a whole other level than what the concentration camps were.

People think b/c the term used is different, it makes what we did to the Japanese-Americans in WW2 ok?


Define for me the differences.
