Do you believe the ICE facilities are the same as the death camps from WWII?

There seems to be a good number of people comparing the ICE raids and facilities to the actions of the Holocaust. Do agree or disagree with this?

Discuss.

No, they are not concentration camps just like the death camps from WWII.
For one thing, no one is being gassed to death, and we just plum forgot to build crematoriums for all the bodies...because we are not committing genocide.

Any one of the stupid yahoos inside those holding facilities could have saved themselves $7,000 to $10,000 just by staying home, and they would probably be a lot more comfortable, right now.

Of course, a few of them are wanted by the police in their own countries, so they actually HAD to try to run up here and hide.

They each, (except for the kidnapped or rented children), made the decision to come here, knowing it wasn't for asylum...[b]it was for more money[/b]. So they decided to break our law. And some of them actually put their own children's lives at risk, [b]for more money[/b]. And some of them actually LOST their children, from drowning, or dehydration, or sepsis, or from other disease after subjecting those little children to a 2000 mile trek. [b]For more money[/b].

And you know what? We don't WANT the illegals, because anyone who wants to break down the door to get in isn't our kind of future citizen. We would be sooooo thrilled to send all of them home...unlike a concentration camp in WWII where the residents were prisoners.

So when the far left liberals start whining about children in cages, which happened under Obama, and start whining about the terrible cruelty of OUR government and ICE and DHS, who were, just two months ago, sinking under the weight of the enormous numbers of illegals flouting our law, and under the weight of a destructive Congress who wanted to create this situation by refusing to provide funding, I want to puke in my hat. Not really. I don't have a hat.
I want to puke on AOC and the dozens just like her.

The kind of sick to MY stomach puking liars who make wild irresponsible statements like this would benefit from being imprisoned for a week so we can [i]demonstrate[/i] to them what a WWII concentration camp is like. Unfortunately, not even that reality slap would fix their stupidity, or provide them with mental stability.

No, not even close. Only Leftist and Trump haters believe that.

@Graylight So how are the functions the same?
GunSmoke9 · 56-60, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Of course non citizens were also killed. What went on in those camps is not even close to what's happening on our southern border. Are we starving, killing people like they did in Europe?
@GunSmoke9 Corporations use "prison industries " as slave labor in much the same way the labor camps were used so there are actual parallels even with the German camps.

That's a misinterpretation.

They are clearly not death camps.

They are clearly concentration camps.

Not all concentration camps are death camps.

Are people being forced from their homes because of their religion, shipped in boxcars to the camps, stripped of their clothes, robbed of their possessions, and then executed in a gas chamber? If the answer to those questions is "Yes," then they are similar.

@ProfessorPlum77 Way to be disingenuous.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@Blodyn ICE is an acronym for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
It's pure ridiculousness from ridiculous people. Another lie, that the propagandists are trying to exploit. It's not the Hilton, but the surge is so heavy, agents are strained beyond capacity. In my opinion, 'sneaking' into a country is no different than 'sneaking' into someone's house, so I have little sympathy, and I blame the infiltrators for what happens to the children, not the ICE agents or facility workers or the border patrol.
No. But then that is not what is being alleged either. The nazi death camps were not the only concentration camps in history and not even where the term originated from. The death camps (and not even all the nazi camps were for extermination) were just one of the more extreme examples from history and convenient for deflecting. This same sort of nonsense argument was used to justify gitmo.

@AMERICA1ST I'm a Jew and I get slammed for most of my enlightened ideas here including this one. But I say I am right.

I will continue to devote my life to obliterating cruelty and ignorance wherever I find it.

These places are too disturbing to be dismissed the way most people here are dismissing them. They watch THAT kind of "news".

So deal with it America "First".

Nope. They're detention center's, like jail, because illegal immigrants broke the law.

@Platoscave and what should I learn?

It’s a bit of an exaggeration in my opinion. The jews weren’t sent to israel from death camps. I don’t know exactly what’s going on in these ICE facilities but im sure it doesn’t involve sarin gas or burning people in ovens,make soaps and umbrellas out of them etc. I do feel sorry for the folks who came in search for a better life and get the same treatment as hardened criminals do. That’s not fair

@SW-User The terrible is not the ENEMY of the worst.

The right wing "news" creeps are saying what you are saying.
MOST of you I mean.

WHAT ARE THEY NOT SAYING?

What are you all trying not to say?

Ever hear of the GOLDEN RULE???

Or is that stuff too old fashioned?

Maybe too anti-"atheism"???

****************************************************************

and by the way, Marcipan, if you decide to spell "Jews" as "jews" I ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY THINK.
exactly - ovens / gas chambers everything ........... liberal

They are the same as concentration camps rather than death camps.
Butterflykisses24 · 51-55, F
Though I do not agree with the deportation of immagrents,no not the same.Its just sending people back to their country cause they got into this one illegally.Not brutally killing people for their religion,like the Holocaust.

@Dianna People who get railroaded into a nuthouse will often find their possessions trashed or stolen or both.

Ditto for prisons.

Its the usual thing to trash everything about a person's life once they get hauled into one of those places.

The goal is OBLITERATION regardless of what they say to deny it..

I am not ashamed of invoking the WW2 camps.

The terrible is not the enemy of the worst and should not be separated from it.

People are comparison-making and analogy-making creatures.

They are too much like them to ignore the image. So I won't do it but instead try to WARN people that just because something isn't something yet....it MIGHT BE ON THE WAY TO DOING JUST THAT.

I mean who do you complacent people TRUST to back up your complacency?

HUH???

I did my part in this "discussion".

Naw not even remotely close to being the same.

@WeighedDown and someone like you couldn't ever be so unlucky as to get treated like them...right?

@Platoscave please the only kind of luck I have is bad

The nazis started with concentration camps before turning them into death camps.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
Concentration camps were not invented by the nazis, and generally aren't death camps.
There's a difference between concentration camps and extermination camps.

I'm pretty sure we haven't really gotten into the latter, at least yet.

If I remember right, it took the Nazis about 9 years of pussy footing around with relocation centers and work camps before really getting efficient.

Unless Trump wins again in 2020, at a minimum, I think we're not even going to see real work camps, and true death camps would probably require even more time to acclimate Americans to.

Ok. I never heard of it. But thank you for explaining. @Dianna
Graylight · 51-55, F
No, I don't think the conditions are the same. Not even close. However, both the German work camps and this immigrant detainment Center are internment camps and in that way, they are identical.

They (the incarcerated Americans of Japanese ancestry) were AMERICAN Citizens. You can't really compare the camps the Germans used, aka Concentration Camps or the various POW camps and Facilities (like Unit 731) that the Japanese military in WW2 used, to the detention facilities currently under scrutiny on our Southern border.@pismo
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
@pismo German-Americans and Italian-Americans were also interred in camps.

People do that? Hmmm... genocide... making drugs... ohh yeah, totally comparable.
