"The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border. That is what they are." - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In the early days of the camp, any man incapable of labor was immediately executed.
There are 40 million people living in the United States who were born in another country-accounting for about one-fifth of the world's migrants in 2017.
We could build a giant steel fence around the entire country, and the United States would still reign as the most welcoming place for foreigners that has ever existed.
"Concentration camps" have a long history that predates the Holocaust, after all.
Ocasio-Cortez, whose historical obliviousness leads her to believe we're living in an economic and racial dystopia, says she is speaking to those who "Are concerned enough with humanity to say that 'Never Again' means something andthat concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the Home of the Free." It's indeed strange to hear a leftist who champions anti-Israel causes and anti-Semitic politicians using this phrase, since the Jewish state is the most successful and enduring manifestation of Never Again.
The appearance of "Never Again" also undermines her later contention that she wasn't talking about the Nazi camps.
