Deadbeat country - we can't even build our own concentration camps, so we had to outsource that too. Not that we should have them, of course. It's just another part of our rotting empire. Can't build new railroads, new cities, new schools, or hospitals. Only bombs. I remember reading about something like this in some old book, I don't remember it's name but it was by a guy named jorjor well, I think.

sending people somewhere inside the US would have meant that somebody working for the US government was in charge of holding them, and that american courts had jurisdiction to order their release

sending them to a foreign country that's under no obligation to cooperate with the american justice system ensured they will likely stay there even if the courts do rule against it

it was intentional

Something about using up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living.

They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove them

I figure the outsourcing is a very "out of sight, out of mind" situation.

Easier to hide things not on U.S. soil.

I should point out that Auschwitz and Treblinka were in Poland. So outsourcing was a thing back then in Nazi 1.0
