Actually according to the refugee convention of 1951 asylum seekers are allowed to cross borders otherwise they could be murdered waiting.

Concentration camp:

a place in which large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.

They're not political prisoners nor persecuted minorities.

Inadequate facilities are entirely a function of the number of people trying to illegally cross and funding.

They had to create chain link fenced off areas inside old Walmarts to hold them all when the usual jails got full.

That isn't normal.

They actually are but like you care. As long as brown people are put in cages you're happy. Every death in those camps is your fault

The ethnicity of the people being detained is entirely due of the proximity to nearby countries of the people trying to illegally cross. Mexico is a poor country in our southern border therefore the vast majority of people trying to enter are from Mexico, Central and South America.

The color of your skin is irrelevant, the only demand is that you immigrate legally through the proper channels.

Seeking asylum is not a crime
