I'm not actually aware of the USA having concentration camps specifically. I know of some human rights issues, though, so for the sake of argument I'll assume this is a thing. Nevertheless, hypocritical or not, it would be better (from a worldsuck perspective) to decrease these issues in China than to not do that. And isn't the issue much more widespread in China than in the USA? Looking for "concentration camp USA" on DDG, just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, it comes up with some site about customs and border patrol stations where refugees are imprisoned in for-profit facilities. Is that what you are referring to?

I guess GP is talking about Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib like prisons. While you can argue if you call that a concentration camp, it’s strange how fast people forget.

  I know of Guantanamo but did people have to work there? From my impression it was a prison, not a labor camp, but it has been a few years so I might be fuzzy on the details.

    Guantanamo is a torture camp. For the forced labor, look at the private prison industry.

> I'm not actually aware of the USA having concentration camps specifically. "Concentration camps" is the exact and precise term for what the USA has. "Extermination camps" are the ones we probably don't have.
