In a desperate attempt to defend her ridiculous comments on “concentration camps” at the southern border, AOC decided Republicans needed a lesson on ‘concentration camps’ and tweeted this out saying:
“And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps. Concentration camps are considered by experts as “the mass detention of civilians without trial.” And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.”

Well she left out one big point that Dan Crenshaw was all too happy to explain:
Clearly I need to explain that, in concentration camps, people are unjustly sought out and confined.
This isn’t what is happening at the border. Migrants are illegally crossing our border. Most are asylum seekers, thus pending trial, so your expert definition doesn’t apply. https://t.co/gE6kaj7jGz

Your comments reveal total disregard for our sovereignty & a deep ignorance that belittles the horrors of the Holocaust.
If you’re worried about conditions at the border, why don’t you do something about it & support @RepMikeRogersAL’s bill securing billions in humanitarian aid?

“Expert definition”. Ha!
He’s right. These migrants are flooding OUR border. If the US was really running inhumane concentration camps, I’m pretty sure they’d be running the other way.
Stephen Miller makes another good point:
“What do YOU call building mass camps of people being detained without a trial?”
I call it 2014 and the Obama administration. Where were you guys?

I know we on the right say it a lot, but it’s true!
