OK I went to the 'camp'. I found out that that the LA Times article which has been circulating of late all over the web referring to colored wristbands and autos being siezed is actually over a year old:

Ontario, CA, Tent City Residents Required to Wear Wristbands (<---Note this is not an LA Times headline) David Kelly, Los Angeles Times March 30, 2009 http://www.infowars.com/ontario-ca-tent-city-residents-required-to-wear- wristbands/
No one is wearing wristbands and the place is nearly empty. There are 'no trespassing' signs everywhere. the guard did refer to it as modeled after sherrif joe arpio's prison in AZ though.
I went to the 'tent city' in Ontario CA Sunday 4/4/09 to see if I could get any footage or interviews with residents. I walked the perimeter on the public sidewalk and found one young man in his 20's was in his car going through some paperwork. He said he lived there, and when I asked him about the colored wristbands mentioned in an LA Times article. He said "oh, that was a long time ago, over a year'. He was correct, as the LA Times article recently circulated is from March 18, 2008. Read it here:

He was not wearing a wristband. Two other guys didn't want to talk on camera. A woman resident then started cursing and shouting to the security guard that I was taking pictures.
I was then approached by a SECURITAS security guard who was patrolling the property. He said he had been called by a resident who didn't want anyone taking pictures. he said the camp was based after Sheriff Joe Arpaio's camps in the Arizona desert. He spoke of the damage the Democratic party had done to the state. I told him I was a libertarian and he said he's surprised the Republican party didn't support Ron Paul. I told him I was doing some freelance work to submit for a story for INFOWARS. The guard knew of Alex Jones, who he had heard on George Noory's show on Clearchannel's KFI. He said "Alex is pretty sharp on stuff, he knows what's going on". I noted how the camp was nearly empty, and the guard explained they kicked everyone out who had not previously been a resident of Ontario, then concluded "the way the economy's going i wouldnt be surprised if it starts expanding".
What Jones needs to stop doing is using buzzwords like "concentration camps" in order to get a reaction out of his camp followers.
Calling this a "concentration camp" is total bullshit, and you know it is. So, you tell me, if you can still read this: Why did he use that term?
ping to the camp vid above.

they kicked everyone out who had not previously been a resident of Ontario,
I guess that excludes ALL HOMELESS AMERICANS other than ONTARIO residents (bullshit - my people are MOVED for lack of knowledge) ... this cannot stand because it violates the right "to travel" (watch).
Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.
I was trying to recognize where you were but couldn't place it. Is this anywhere near the TA truckstops in Ontario?
Interesting video. Perhaps Jones was fooled by the original MSM story? And I wonder why they re-ran the story in the first place?
Since I dont bother to listen to jones' radio program, did he even mention that the story was a year old and NOT CURRENT? IOW that the entire thing was outdated and totally bogus?
We all get fooled sometimes and there is no shame in admitting it.
not too far, it's off grove ave. between the 10 and the 60 on state street.
I found it interesting that while everyone was bickering about the use of the word camps and concentration camps, like you mentioned the story was over a year old. when i spoke with one guy in the camp he had told me the wristband thing was a year ago. it didnt click until i went back to look at the article again later. I remembered it was march 18, but hadnt noted the year prior to the guy telling me that. obviously Jones had not noticed it either; he has been reporting that this was current. As you pointed out, and as i believe was your main point, we have to verify everything for ourselves, which i did agree with. I had not heard him correct this point, although i do not listen everyday.
in this video from 4-1-09 Jones discusses the ontario wristbands etc. so he does think that the LA Times story is current.

If he wants to gain in credibility, he needs to admit this error if he hasn't done so already. If he doesn't admit it, it only goes to prove he has an agenda of his own, and it's not about truth.
What is the harm in saying "I was wrong and here's the truth of the matter"?
there are tents etc but yeah nearly empty. as psusa said all along we should verify everything for ourselves. The infowars article about it was linked from another site, which had the story dated 3-31-09:

Yet the la times piece ran over one year ago. Also note that the LA Times story is written by
'Ontario residents only' at Tent City Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times
Not 'David Kelly' as is credited in a recent link. wierd.

I beleive it indeed was a legitmiate error, as the article was dated the end of March which was when he started reporting on it. I dont know why it got circulated over a year after it ran though, or why david kelly was listed as the author. just goes to show we need to verify the original sources every time., which is actually what Jones always suggest people do.
