>a concentration camp

Most people at these facilities can leave at any time, right? Just so long as it isn't back into the United States? They can return to their country of origin, or another country. I'm sure someone will offer a correction if this particular facility was holding people for other crimes in addition to their unauthorized alien status.

I use the phrase concentration camp not to dispute the legality of their detention, but to draw attention to the deplorable conditions thereof. Just because it may be legal to detain does not mean the state has the right to abuse them or hold them in deplorable conditions.
