AOC and Omar are correct. The detention centers on our southern border ARE concentration camps. Just because ignorant people equate the term with Nazi extermination camps, which were also both internment and concentration camps, doesn’t change the definition:<\/p>\n

The American Heritage Dictionary defines the term concentration camp as: “A camp where persons are confined, usually without hearings and typically under harsh conditions, often as a result of their membership in a group the government has identified as dangerous or undesirable.” <\/p>\n

While the Nazis were murdering 6 million Jews in their WWII concentration camps, America was busy locking Japanese Americans in our own concentration camps. We called them “internment camps”, which they also were, but Japanese people were imprisoned, “concentrated” in those camps, without trials or evidence, because our government feared they were a risk to America because of the war with Japan.
\nAmerica didn’t send those Japanese prisoners to gas chambers, because OUR concentration\/internment camps weren’t extinction camps like the Nazi’s. ALL concentration camps are not implicitly death camps…although the growing number of dead refugee children might say that the miserable”detention centers” on our southern border are working hard to achieve that goal.<\/p>\n
