Fort Sill Oklahoma became a migrants concentration camp

Opinion letter echo published in Tulsa World by Brandon Rule, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Regarding the use of Oklahoma's Fort Sill to detain migrant children, we are creating concentration camps for people in need of humanitarian aid, and it is wrong.

The border crisis, to the extent it is not completely manufactured, is a humanitarian crisis created by the president's policies, not a threat to our nation.

These are desperate people who need aid, not detainment. I expect U.S. Rep. Kevin Hern and Sens. James Lankford, and James Inhofe to be doing everything in their power to mitigate this humanitarian crisis.
And, that doesn't mean locking up kids. It means providing aid and intervention in their home countries to eliminate the cause of the refugees, not using their desperation to gin up fear, anger and xenophobia in Americans.
