> so what is the alternative? The alternative would be to detain them respecting their human rights and eventually deporting them, if they don’t have a right to stay. > By intentionally conflating the detention camp with a concentration camp You must be conflating concentration, labor and extermination camps in Nazi Germany. Concentration camps are a much older idea. Besides, I used the dictionary definition of “concentration camp”. I understand “I want to put children in concentration camps” may sound bad in polite company. For this reason, and many others, I’d prefer to not do that. > Define harsh conditions. Hopefully I don’t have to explain why been detained on an abandoned oil rig in the middle of the North Sea would be harsh. > This was the same tactic used by US media during Trump presidency when the camps where actually running for years under the same conditions with billions of dollars of funding. I’m not much interested in discussing what the American press is or is not saying about whatever Trump or his predecessors did or did not do. I was just listing a bunch of blatantly stupid ideas Patel proposed in the past 2-3 years.
