Data from, as the chart indicates: Note: Fiscal years begin October 1 of the previous calendar year; Data: Department of Homeland Security; Chart: Chris Canipe/Axios
These concentration camps are no different than what the British did in South Africa, Canada did in WW1 with citizens from the Ukraine, Germany in 1933, or USA in WW2 with citizens of Japanese origin. They are concentration camps.
No one said they were also extermination camps. Get to know your history and etymology.
Don't be obtuse.
You know exactly what type of picture AOC and the Left are trying to paint with that terminology.
The people at our border are there of their own free will.
The are perfectly free to leave and return to their home countries anytime.
This destroys the narrative that Trump has been more effective. The thing that has changed under Trump is the ruthlessness that has become the hallmark of ICE, especially when dealing with children in their concentration, detention, holding or whatever you want to call them camps where they withhold soap, toothbrushes and warm blankets.
Trump talks, Obama walks. Actions speak louder than words, especially when one looks at the people you really want to get rid of, the criminal ones. Obama's actions are significantly better than Trump's.
I believe the US has tried the humanitarian aid BS for years with nothing to show for it.
If the US is so fascist, as you say, why do millions want to come here?
The US has accepted more refugees than any other country in the entire world at a rate of over one million a year.
Central America get over $180 million in US foreign aid.
Wrong, wrong, wrong!!!
Canada, with only 1/10th the population of the USA, has accepted more refugees. I've cited that earlier.
I like the soap and toothbrush comment.....not sure if the refugee children even had soap or toothbrushes in their home countries and now you complain?...can you explain something different?
As for as tearing away children from their parents....I am sure all those parents knew that would happen and has happened dating back many many years and they come anyway...So just who is at fault?
Those that do the tearing away, and those that enable them. Nice slide into fascism too many Americans support. They are the despicable ones.
It was their fathers and grandfathers who fought against that evil, and now they embrace at least part of that evil on their own home soil. The sacrifices made in WW2 apparently meant nothing.

The little children are free to leave? Really? And how are they to connect with their parents? After all, ICE has lost track of how many where they deported the parents, but lost the children.
America, it's time to wake up!!
AOC was right. Jesus, how the heck can any thinking, feeling human being accept this tragedy?
Obama deportation numbers were dismal. He gave millions of illegal aliens a stay of deportation along with work permits via DACA and DAPA by bypassing congress. He also instructed Homeland Security not to deport any illegal aliens unless they were convicted criminals.
I have asked you previously and never got a reply, what would YOU do with DACA and DAPA people?

Truly sad that their parents rip them out of their homes, dragged them across the country to break laws and put them in this kind of danger.
The home country government needs to step up and take these kids back and reconnect them with their families.

Don't like the way things are being handled?
Ok.
Tell us your solution.
What do we do with the thousands of illegals flooding our southern border that will meet with your approval?
Pretty easy to sit back, criticize and pass judgement on the work that OTHERS are doing.
A different story altogether to do it better yourself.

It was Obama who locked up these type of people in the first place but of course our resident self proclaimed Canadian humanitarian says nothing about that. He sure seems to have a lot of interest in our illegal immigration problem. Make one wonder, doesn't it? Hmm. Kids can't be jailed with their parents. Even our own kids can't go to jail with their law breaking parents. Many of these kids don't even belong to the phony parents that brought them here. Trump even forewarned them not to bring their kids here illegally with them or they would likely get separated. I'm with you....so just who's at fault here?
What were we supposed to do when thousands after thousands in caravan after caravan marched up to our border demanding entry? It completely overwhelmed us. This has never happened in the history of our country before. At least they are being housed and fed. What irritates me is someone having sympathy for them when 90% of them are bogus asylum seekers (dishonest) or they are just trying to sneak into our country illegally (lawbreakers). They sure didn't mind dragging their kids for thousands of miles through harsh deserts under sanitary conditions but we are the bad guys for not pampering them?
