Amidst the current “concentration camp” controversy, a nearly decade-old video has emerged of Sherrif Joe Arpaio bragging about his own Arizona border tent cities to which he also referred to as “concentration camps.”

Why are people now debating the definition of this term? Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez started something of a firestorm of debate when during an Instagram Live video, she called out the Trump Administration’s current border policy for using “concentration camps.”

She said: “The U.S. is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are They are concentration camps.” She then added, “If that doesn’t bother you…I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that ‘never again’ means something.”

For many, the term “concentration camp” evokes the genocidal campaign led by Adolph Hitler in which 6 million Jews were systematically killed in what is obviously one of the darkest periods of the last century.

3. Trolls are trying to minimize what's happening on the border

They have an agenda.

ICE's new slogan "Not as bad as the Nazis so STFU"

You'll see that here soon, bank on it.

4. "Concentration Camps" are...............

Places where people are "concentrated" in large numbers into a small area under deplorable and inhumane conditions. Like what we have at the Border. AOC is correct.
