Hot Take: Illegal Alien Detention Facilities Are Really Concentration Camps

Liberals have a fixation on concentration camps. They claimed that the Bush 43 administration would build them. And that Trump would build them for the gender confused. Now, Jonathan M. Katz gives it a whirl in the LA Times

Call immigrant detention centers what they really are: concentration camps

If you were paying close attention last week, you might have spotted a pattern in the news. Peeking out from behind the breathless coverage of the Trump family’s tuxedoed trip to London was a spate of deaths of immigrants in U.S. custody: Johana Medina Léon, a 25-year-old transgender asylum seeker; an unnamed 33-year-old Salvadoran man; and a 40-year-old woman from Honduras.

Photos from a Border Patrol processing center in El Paso showed people herded so tightly into cells that they had to stand on toilets to breathe. Memos surfaced by journalist Ken Klippenstein revealed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s failure to provide medical care was responsible for suicides and other deaths of detainees. These followed another report that showed that thousands of detainees are being brutally held in isolation cells just for being transgender or mentally ill.

Also last week, the Trump administration cut funding for classes, recreation and legal aid at detention centers holding minors — which were likened to “summer camps” by a senior ICE official last year. And there was the revelation that months after being torn from their parents’ arms, 37 children were locked in vans for up to 39 hours in the parking lot of a detention center outside Port Isabel, Texas. In the last year, at least seven migrant children have died in federal custody.

The United States didn’t invited these people to come illegally/show up at our border demanding entry. If the illegals do not like the conditions, there’s an easy solution: don’t come. Fix your own country. Oh, and throw some blame at the illegal alien supporting groups who do invite them to come. If you don’t like the conditions in jail, don’t break the law. Simple, right?

And when you come sick, when you’re trekking your kids thousands of miles in poor condition, bringing them very sick, it’s a tragedy, but, it is not the fault of the Border Patrol or ICE that deaths happen. The loons might as well blame the doctors, nurses, and medical facilities which tried to help the illegals.

But, wait, let’s turn the volume to 11

When a leader puts people in camps to stay in power, history shows that he doesn’t usually stop with the first group he detains.

See, Trump is going to put everyone in a concentration camp! Nor does the screed get much better. Read it in full.
