She's right, though.
Everyone just likes to overreact and freak the hell out anymore.

I feel like people don't even understand what comparisons are.

1. estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between.

Not "saying 2 things are completely indistinguishable from one another",

No one is saying that there are extermination camps and that the government has systematically killed over 6 million immigrants, just that these are concentration camps and that this the same type of shit some really rotten nations got up to in their early bad days. Anyone that says it's not as bad as what the Nazis eventually did is kind of missing the point. Shrugging off a bunch of lesser bad things is what leads to those infamous atrocities.

The same type of people getting upset here immediately start screaming about Stalinist Russia when democratic socialists run for office. Apparently illegal immigrants showing up is a crisis, but throwing them in concentration camps isn't quite the Holocaust, so whatever.
