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.
Your premise fails because it relies on the notion that there is something inherently wrong with rounding up illegal immigrants/asylum seekers. Only there isn't. They have to go somewhere. Would you rather have them go to prison? No, let me guess, you'd rather we just let them all live in the US....right? You can argue about needing better conditions in these places and I'd probably agree but the Holocaust analogies exist solely to fearmonger.
There is something inherently wrong with concentration camps, yes.
Why? They aren't American citizens so we can't let them just go free in America and we have to have somewhere to put them. Ultimately, you have no solution other then open borders and fuck that noise.
