Putting people in re-education camps because of their ethnicity or religion isn’t the same as detaining illegal aliens. The US isn’t putting people in camps because of ethnicity or religion. Illegal aliens are in “camps” because they entered the US illegally. Drawing an equivalence between concentration camps (of the Nazi variety) and US immigration enforcement is ridiculous. If that difference can’t be discerned, then any intelligent debate is impossible. The immigration policy of the US is worthy of debate, but comparing the US to China or Nazi Germany is just nonsense.

Intelligent debate? Are you fucking kidding me with that dismissive bullshit? Look closer at your prison system, asylum seekers and Gitmo. I'm not saying there aren't reasons for all this, and I'm not saying the US is worse than China, let alone anywhere near as bad as Nazis. But holy shit if you can't see a semblance I don't know what world you're living in. P.S. saying they're illegals and that gives you the right to deport them is one thing, but saying it makes it ok to cage them and their kids up is a whole nother ball game. Nazis made it illegal to be Jewish too.
