Rep. Ilhan Omar (D- MN) backed Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) claim that migrant detention centers are modern-day “concentration camps” during an interview with Public Radio International Thursday. Omar definitively stated that “people are being put in camps” and defended Ocasio-Cortez’s assessment, accusing her critics of conflating concentration camps with death camps.
She said:
And when you think about the definition, if we separate it from death camps, I would say these are camps and people are being concentrated in them. And so that’s the general definition. I think a lot of people are conflating what a death camp looks like or a specific removal of people. These people are coming to the border. We are removing them from the border. We are placing them in camps. Some of them are being removed from communities and being put in what we’re calling detention centers — but are essentially camps. There has to be a way for us to have this conversation without calling people names and accusing them of things when they are just having a general honest conversation on how detrimental this is.
Omar did not go as far as describing migrant detention facilities as “death camps,” but she insinuated that it was just the beginning of the process.
“When you talk about the process of de-humanizing people so that you can exterminate them, there is a process,” she explained, accusing the Trump administration of engaging in dangerous rhetoric.
“When you are constantly engaging in the kind of rhetoric this administration has engaged in — when it comes to immigrants and people who are seeking asylum and refugees — we have to be alarmed,” she said.

my kids would pull this bullsh!t
They are insane and evil for making such horrible and untrue claims.
People in these places are well fed, not hurt.
And how many Jews were able to go home any time they wanted to like those in our detention facilities can?
Idiot.
Of course she’s going to take the stupid position every time.
She’s utter evil and stupid.
Would anyone expect anything less from this vile enemy of the People?
It’s well past time to revoke her citizenship and deport her sorry ass back to the third world shithole where she was spawned.
My memory is a little hazy and my history weak, but I cannot recall Jews trying to get into Germany to enter a camp.
They are idiots on Instagram. They must be smart.
God help us.
I never compared it to a concentration camp, but I remember being in the 7th grade and catching hell for comparing school to a prison camp.
Take two Squashes.. turn up the heat. What do you get?
A pile of messy mush.
After I posted, I thought it might be misinterpreted.
I was referring to a child’s attempt to parse words and meanings in an effort to deny culpability.
Islam is a “Camp”.
Well, this serves two purposes.
First off, it exposes the America haters even more.
And coupled with the news of impending raids, this may discourage more *migrants* from heading our way. I KNOW it’s not true, but spread the word far and wide that when the illegals get here, they’ll be put in concentration camps, and maybe they’ll start having second thoughts.
There’s a bright side to these specious claims.
Times have changed.
Today it's not so far from the truth.
I must have missed the Zyklon-B gas chambers disguised as showers and the giant crematories.
Usually, people don’t try to break INTO concentration camps.
Now I know that my summer camp (for boy scouts) was a concentration camp.
This from the crowd that has obssessive desire to put those who don’t think like them in “re-education” camps, soviet style.
