AOC claims US is putting ‘concentration camps’ on border

[Revmitchell]

The good news for AOC is the Liberators of Dachau have pretty much died out. So, she can get away with rhetoric without some grandpa getting in her face correcting her.

The Polish legislature has now spoken out against her foolish comments and condemned them.

She is referring to Trump's proposal to use a former Japanese internment camp during WWII to house immigrants.

Trump administration to send migrant children to Army base once used as Japanese internment camp

Trump administration to send migrant children to Army base once used as Japanese internment camp

Some immigrant children detained at the southern border will be sent to a U.S. Army base once used to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II as authorities seek new shelters to house an overflow of people crossing the border.

The Health and Human Services Department (HHS), which operates the Office of Refugee Resettlement, said it was activating facilities at Fort Sill Army Base near Lawton, Okla., as a temporary emergency shelter for children detained at the border.

*************************************************************************************************************
I think the Democratic response to doing this was overdone since Obama used this camp for a short time. But Japanese-Americans whose ancestors were interned there are upset about seeing this practice occur again.

There is no doubt what she meant She cited terminology used ONLY with the NAZI holocaust concentration camps...

”I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that we should not — that ‘Never Again’ means something,”

Yes, migrants are being sent to be sheltered at Fort Sill army base, which has been in existence since 1869. Yes, it was used for a short time as an internment camp in WWII. By referring to a 150 year old army base as a place "once used as a Japanese internment camp" the article introduces bias into the story, as if placing migrants there today is equivalent to what FDR did during war time.

Ft. Sill was used as a Japanese internment camp from 1942-1945.

For descendants of the Japanese-Americans and the Native Americans who knew Fort Sill as a prison, not the verdant military training ground and national landmark it is today, the government’s new plan raised bitter questions about whether the nation had truly reckoned with its darker past. After the news conference on Saturday, the protesters moved to a nearby park when the police ordered them to leave the base.

“My grandfather was imprisoned on Fort Sill for 20 years with Geronimo,” said Jeff Haozous, 57, a spokesman for the Fort Sill Apache tribe who stood in the sweltering heat at the protest. The one condition Geronimo demanded for surrender, he added, “was to keep the families together. The one promise they kept was they kept the families together.”

Paul Tomita and other internment camp survivors brought camp ID cards and other photos of themselves from when they were detained as children.

Tomita, 80, of Bellevue, Wash., was sent to a camp in Idaho when he was 3, and his family lived in a dusty tent there for about a year. He said Saturday that when he sees photographs of detained migrant children, he recognizes a sense of despair. “It’s our responsibility to help,” he said.

Last week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) faced a backlash when she called migrant detention facilities concentration camps and refused to back down.

“We are calling these camps what they are because they fit squarely in an academic consensus and definition,” she tweeted.

Critics say the term applies only to the Nazi death camps where millions of Jews were killed. But some descendants of Holocaust survivors who gathered at Ft. Sill disagreed.

Mike Korenblit’s parents survived a concentration camp in Poland. Now Korenblit, 67, and his wife, of Edmond, Okla., protest regularly outside their local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. He wore a U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum T-shirt to Saturday’s protest and defended using the term “concentration camps” for internment camps and migrant holding areas.

“They are the same kind of situation. Why aren’t they identified as the same thing?” he said.

FDR was no good and Congress had to pay for his racism.

When someone says, "concentration camp" anyone listening naturally understands that it refers to the Nazi concentration camps.

The media and others are trying to re-interpret that phrase to mean something else, but no one who mentions concentration camps means anything other than the ones used by Nazis.

One good reason we know that she was referring to Nazi camps is because it fits the Liberal narrative that Trump supporters are Nazis or that Trump is a Nazi. The most inflammatory imagery that she could conjure up is that of a Nazi concentration camp.

The Japanese internment camps were bad, but need to be understood in the context of a war that the empire of Japan foisted onto the US. That being said, they were not even close to being "concentration camps" of the kind used by the Nazis. I would also add that we were far more humane and kind to the Japanese than the Japanese were to our men in the Philippines in the Bataan Death March. Our guys were brutalized by the Japanese and were denied their rights under the Geneva Convention.

No one should be defending AOC and her disgusting remarks. She is a disgrace to the House of Representatives, a disgrace to her district, a disgrace to the United States and needs to be removed from office. She has proven that she does not have the intelligence, the class, the ethical fortitude and the common sense needed to hold that office.

Socialists have no place in the America; they are un-American. If she and others want to live under Socialism, they should pack their bags and go live in a Socialist country.

The Trump Nazi's are trying to takeover America just like Hitler took over Germany. Even using the same tactics. That isn't going to happen because true American patriots have already started to rise up mto throw you back. America will never go Nazi.

And perhaps maybe its time for a new party, one that can finish off Abortion, Infanticide, Euthanasia and Eugenics.
