We've been doing that for a while in Australia. I can only hope the level of human rights abuses in the US is lower than it has been here.

Australia's detention centres a crime against humanity, says submission before ICC - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

To tie this back to the OP...
Professor Anne Orford, one of the 17 legal academics behind the submission, said an investigation could help counter the risk that Australia's policies were "setting a new, lower standard for what is acceptable treatment" of asylum seekers.

The University of Melbourne academic cited the current political environment in the US under President Donald Trump as one of the areas that may be influenced.

People brushing off Trumps comparison to Hitler are in for a new surprise, massive tent city concentration camps to detain immigrant asylum seekers at the US border, What an evil man he is.
I don't see any meaningful comparison. Jews were forced from their homes and forced to go to concentration camps. These immigrants are choosing to leave their homes and choosing to enter America.

That's talking like the Jews were talking in 1935

I thought we were already doing this with the cages the kids and parents being seperated no?
 
If I was in charge I would send them back the same way they came. They wouldn't stay in a tent camp. They would turn around and march back through Mexico. I don't think so called "compassionate" people understand the situation. If you let one caravan force their way in. Then there will be more and more caravans. You will create an even worse situation. So much for your short sighted sense of compassion.

Congrats you're a shinning example of Jesus compassion.

Due to violence, it's not unusual for someone from South or Central America to be forced from their homes. They come here, get caught up in the system, are met with opposition from the legal aspects, and sent back home to their deaths.

Apparently breaking the law doesn't seem to register with liberals.

Asylum claims at the border are in line with US and international law. The immigrants are taking advantage of the American’s habit of allowing the process to take years, but they’re not breaking the law.

Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me....Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.(Matthew 26:40;45)
So, basically, you are making Jesus march back to a violence-plagued land that is massively impoverished, and not offering him solace and sanctuary.

I would take it that's why the camps are set up, so they can start the process and or deportation.

Can't about a couple billion people in third world countries in South or Central America, Africa, Asia, etc. be placed in that same crappy country and needing asylum label? What's the answer? What's the limits?

What do you think should happen to them during the asylum process? Where do you propose they live?

If it's like the Australian camps, there will be incindents.
Comparing it to Auschwitz is hyperbole, but still, I find our camps shameful.
When you have that many people there is undoubtfully going to be issues no doubt.

But you have to look at the bottom line for which the people brought their problems on themselves by making the decision to come here in the first place. It's not like Mexico didn't offer all of them asylum already to become Mexicans.

I am not a Trump fan, but I have to ask.

Are they also setting up ovens and such?

The Texas desert is pretty much an oven in the summer for un air conditioned tents
