Here is an argument…for academic purposes only…

The counter argument for using the term  “concentration camps” which was used to describe the immigration detention facilities that currently exist in the United States by a United States congress women, is an unacceptable term in our highly charged polarized political environment. 

The term in many ways does not allow academic discourse within the confines of a democratic society without an emotional response, either positive of negative.

  

It is a dividing and divisive statement that harkens to gas chambers and death camps. The phrase concentration camps create's a gut reaction, which creates horrors, that defines man's inhumanity to man. The expression divides politicians and families and reinforces the split that is currently alive and well in our current political environment. 

In conclusion, the concept of a concentration camp, does not allow one to take sides, there is not a right answer for using such a toxic term, without an emotional response that alienates every part of society.
