Let’s say that there are no concentration camps in our country right now. Let’s say that’s not where we’re keeping the migrants who keep stubbornly showing up on the Southern border. Let’s go ahead and grant that that word is totally inappropriate, despite what some actual Shoah historians say. Some say it is, after all. Let’s say that these internment camps are another sort of outdoor prison wherein huge numbers of a certain type of human being are concentrated together and not allowed to leave. Not a concentration camp but something else.
What we must remember is that the Holocaust also didn’t start with concentration camps.Concentration camps were called the FINAL solution because they were the end of a chain of events. It started with following a leader who had nothing going for him but a certain type of goofy charisma that many found so ridiculous, they didn’t think he could be a threat. It started with being so desperate to save yourself and your country in dire times that you’d fall in line behind anyone. It started with taking age-old prejudices ingrained in a culture and fanning them into violent hate. It started with propaganda and finger-pointing, painting others, any others, as not worthy of life.
It started with the notion that some human beings are more worthy of life than others– and that some evils are tolerable in the interest of safety and prosperity for the right people.

What if They're Not Concentration Camps?

How about we spend more time solving the problem and less time labeling stuff and making Nazi analogies.
It ain't the same. Nor will it ever be.
Having said that, there is a crap-ton of people trying to use our asylum laws to get into our country, Many of them are not actually eligible for asylum, but that doesn't seem to matter when there is this much volume. From where I sit, two things need to happen that ought to just about solve it:
1. Require persons applying for asylum to do so at a US Embassy or Consulate, or alternatively, the own embassies or Consulates inside the US. Don't do that, no asylum for you, and back over the border you go.
2. Expand the amount of immigration judges to get through the backlog. Persons that legitimately need asylum should have their cases heard expeditiously.
2a. Don't show up for your hearing? Next time you are picked up for ANYTHING, back over the border you go to start the process over again.

Solution: send them all back, at their expense and begin turning illegals away at the border. Last time I checked concentration camps were used for the worst human atrocity in recorded history..not happening at the border...break the law, pay the consequences, not be rewarded.

The victims of the concentration camps wanted to escape the Nazi regime! It's not as if ICE is roaming the streets and rounding up everyone who looks to be Mexican or from another Central American country. Illegal aliens aren't a race nor are they being persecuted because the US doesn't have open borders.
Trump isn't some racist dictator that suddenly constructed these camps and implemented these policies. Instead, he's merely upholding the law, something that too many past Presidents failed to do. I listened to clips of Bill Clinton addressing the problem of illegal aliens (back in the 90s when he was President) and he doesn't sound that different from what Trump is saying today on the issue. The only thing that's changed is the Overton window has been moved so far to the left that not having open borders is regarded as something only an evil dictator would do.
