Please explain how someone could evacuate the entire population of London to camps. Or a similar number of Americans. How would you feed them? Move them? Even maintain security? There's a major difference between a "tent prison" and accomedations to hold millions. Even the Germans never approached that as far as a number of detained population goes. The Soviets did, but over decades. And plans supposedly exist to do this to entire populations of cities in a matter of days or weeks? Not plausible.

If you want something scary, quote the existing "Nuclear War" executive orders as part of a conspiracy, there actually is some basis to be worried there. This stuff is just garbage, at least on the scale it is being hyped to. Law enforcement has always wanted to detain people without rights; they bloody hate Miranda.

Concentration camps in the middle of the US are also quite a bad idea for holding dissidents you don't like. Standard prisons and jails (and military brigs) are far superior and *much* harder to escape from. Gitmo works because it is in Cuba (nowhere to go) and essentially a maximum-security style prison anyway. The population housed there is also quite small and controllable.

None of this is true for putting tens or hundreds of thousands of people in a loosly fenced concentration camp. Especially considering the individuals in question are not in custody and most likely would not want to go. America is so laxly policed with such a small military force relative to the USSR or Nazi Germany that there is also effectively nothing the government could do to compell people to go, even if troops and police went along with it, which is not exactly a given to say the least. Not to mention that the civilian population in America is absurdly heavily armed.

There just isn't a plausible scenario for the mass deportation and concentration stuff that is being spewed regarding this idea.

As far as FEMA planning to have refugee centers, that's rather preferable to what would happen around NYC, Chicago, Detroit or any major city if survivors of an attack (which there would be millions of unless someone detonated multiple 20 megaton Soviet-era warheads) just fled in every which direction. Potential refugee plans do not equal death camps.
