Is it OK to call them concentration camps yet?

Or do we have to wait until they all get built?

Until they get filled?

Until they become death camps?

Please, if you object to the term “concentration camp” right now, clearly identify your bright line for when that term becomes acceptable.

If the administration manages to somehow open and fill all of those facilities, there's going to be a new problem. How are they going to actually deport that many people? What will they do when the target countries inevitably refuse to accept more deportees?

You need to look into what actually happened last time. The reason they were called 'concentration camps' is because the official line for the public was they were for the concentration of people 'illegally' in the country (being a jew in Germany was made illegal) for deportation when receiving countries became available.

They didn't look all that hard.

@Orb2069 @bruce @inthehands You do remember the concentration camps for citizens with Japanese heritage in the US, right?

I fear these will be much, much worse. I will be very happy to be wrong.
