A Democratic congresswoman has given a scathing review of the Trump administrationās so-called āAlligator Alcatrazā in Florida, describing it as an āinternment campā that needs to be āshut the hell down.ā
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represents Floridaās 25th congressional district, said that pictures of the facility ādonāt do it justiceā and that detainees were being āpacked into cages.ā
On Saturday Florida lawmakers from both parties took a state-arranged tour of the new 3,000-bed detention center that the state rapidly built on an isolated airstrip surrounded by swampland in the Everglades.
Look, if you put people in āconcentration campsā until they die, wouldnāt that be an extermination camp, even if you arenāt doing anything to accelerate their deaths?
Anne Frank didnāt die in a gas chamber; she died of typhus. Putting people in a place full of health hazards where they will not get proper medical care is a form of extermination.
No, because words have meaning. People also died in the original concentration camps - they were still distinct from the extermination camps.
Auschwitz 1 was a concentration camp, Auschwitz 2 (Auschwitz-Birkenau) was an extermination camp
Also please stop using the euphemisms the Nazis used. Itās an extermination camp.
Alligator Auschwitz will be an extermination camp, but the āoopsie, the residents all died of heatstroke and dehydration, maybe they shouldnāt have been illegally entered the countryā kind.
Euphemisms are meaningless once the connotation settle in. No person alive in the modern civilization can heart the term āconcentration campā and think āoh, this is not so bad thenā.
