If you want to split hairs then yes, but we all know they were invoking the Holocaust when they said “concentration camp”.

I think the point of the argument is calling them concentration camps is fucking ridiculous and having immigration laws in line with the whole entire planet is not a slippery slope
Not by itself. The government of the United States has killed an abnormally large number of people historically though. Maybe that is worth considering in conjunction with other facts.

Maybe it's worth considering that the united states having laws similar to every other country isnt really reflective of a single fucking thing, have u considered it in conjunction with that??

It seems like you are the one refusing to ditch considering things in isolation

"the United States has killed an abnormally large number of people historically" is there some handy reference source that compares Roman Empire, Mongol Empire, Spanish Empire, British Empire, Soviets, Chinese Communists, Americans for 'total number of people killed'? curious
-
All empires have killed an abnormally large number of people historically. You're comparing an outlier to other outliers.

I don't consider it euphemism to call these detainment camps the original concentration camps were to "concentrate" the Boer population during the Boer Wars the difference between detaining border crossers and rounding people up in their homes is substantive
