I think concentration camp is the more apt comparison.

Measles Has Now Begun To Infect Immigrant Detention Camps

  It’s darkly funny, in a way, to recall a racist trope that gets trotted out about immigration all the time: immigrants bring disease into the country. That in itself isn’t funny, obviously. The funny part is that it seems like we’re proving the opposite to be true under the Trump administration. As the measles outbreak in America continues to rage, immigration detention camps are starting to feel the effects.

  ...

  It’s also worth remembering that the spread of disease is a recurring feature in the concentration camp industry. Deaths from disease as well. And, unlike the trope mentioned above, these are infections immigrants are getting from America, not bringing to her soil.

Nothing funny about people in custody being infected by diseases. It would be funny if the fascists would contract it from other fascists.

Given the overlap of the fascists and antivaxers, it's likely they will spread it among themselves.

When they are full I wonder what the final solution will be?

Hopefully quickly and efficiently deporting them back to the places they are legally citizens of.

Realistically, shittier living conditions in the detention centers, just like how in the 2000s and early 2010s living conditions were shittier in California prisons because they were overcrowded. Which is why refusing to sell or rent warehouse space to ICE is counterproductive from the point of view of illegal immigrant detainee welfare.

That was a rhetorical question.

Do you know what the "final solution" is?

It's crazy watching so many Americans not see the parallels here.

One of Hitlers first act was to convert a series of warehouses, unused factories, empty hotels into makeshift camps (“wild camps”) which would set the stage for the eventual concentration camp system. This happened almost immediately after the appointment of Hitler as chancellor. He hadn’t become the Fuhrer yet.

Flagged because people would rather put their head in the sand than to admit what's occurring in front of their eyes.

Republicans want to put people in camps without pesky commentary. Nothing new here.
