Its rather funny that you can't tell when your imagination runs wild with you, and you post it all up here for all to see.
Perhaps draft your post, wait a few minutes, walk away from the keyboard, and reflect before you hit the 'post reply' button?
Those would be in Germany and the then, during WW II, occupied countries, wouldn't it?
I strongly doubt that any of them are here in the US AND are using what you call 'concentration camp labor'.
I'm skeptical.
You call them concentration camps, more properly they should be called ICE Detention Facilities, a waypoint on the way of being deported.
I don't think you can continue to honestly call them concentration camps until there's force labor, there's starvation, and some detainees are worked to death.
Let me know if the ICE Detention Facilities even come close to any of that.
This also goes to demonstrate how ridiculous and outlandish your calling them concentration camps really is.
Sheesh, have you not learned in history class or from books about the conditions of the REAL concentration camps during WW II?
Apparently not, because you are in fact making this ridiculous and outlandish claim, are you not?![]()
"It is an unequivocal fact that the government itself, including the President, used the term “concentration camp” during World War II in speeches and written documents. It is also crucial to note that a “concentration camp” is defined broadly as a place where people are imprisoned not because they are guilty of any crimes, but simply because of who they are. Many groups have been singled out for such persecution throughout history, with the term “concentration camp” first used at the turn of the twentieth century in the Spanish-American and Boer wars. Despite some differences, all concentration camps have one thing in common: People in power remove a minority group from the general population, and the rest of society lets it happen."

One can, of course, argue that these folks are guilty of the civil crime of being here illegally, but the punishment is wildly disproportionate to the punishment, and most of the prisoners were simply minding their own business and living their lives peaceful, often as productive members of society. ICE isn't terribly choosy about who they snatch off the street.
