America shamed by internment camps - GOP wants to do it all over again. Figures.

List of Internment and Detention Camps

Temporary detention centers were used from late March, 1942 until mid-October, 1942, when internees were moved to the ten more permanent internment prisons (for years). These temporary sites were mainly located on large fairgrounds or race tracks in visible and public locations. It would be impossible for local populace to say that they were unaware of the removal and imprisonment of Japanese Americans.

--------------------------------------------------------

While young, patriotic Americans of Japanese decent went off to fight in WWII, their families were imprisoned in concentration camps and they lost everything they had. Years ago, I worked with two guys who lived in those camps when they were small children and they remembered everything about it. How shameful it was. How some lost older brothers, fathers, and children who went off to fight while they were imprisoned. I have no doubt the same kind of conservatives that did that then are the same "kind" who want to do it today to the more than 8 million Muslims living in the US today.

From Wrong To Right: A U.S. Apology For Japanese Internment

In 1988, President Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act to compensate more than 100,000 people of Japanese descent who were incarcerated in internment camps during World War II. The legislation offered a formal apology and paid out $20,000 in compensation to each surviving victim. The law won congressional approval only after a decade-long campaign by the Japanese-American community.

America still hasn't lived down the shame and ignorant right wingers want to do it all over again.

Shamed? I don't think so. Once war broke out many US Germans and Japanese went 'back home' to serve in enemy militaries. Had eevry reason to assume some stayed behind to commit sabotage.

The OP's lies, trolling, and rabid partisanship aside, this is an apples to oranges comparison. The people interned in these camps during WWII were American citizens who were ripped out of their homes at gun point. Their Constitution rights were unjustly stripped and they became victims of human rights violations under an abusive police state. What happened to them was reprehensible.

The refugees from Syria are being brought here from outside the country. They are not current citizens nor do they have a life built for themselves here. They have to be somewhere until a more permanent home can be found for them. They left their homes at their own free will, not by the brute force of the American government yanking them away and imprisoning them.

Part of the refugee requirement is having relatives or some reason to choose here. Don't just scatter people all over the globe.

They not only have not lived it down, some want to do it again.

Every time right wingers print this kind of nonsense, it only makes them look more and more stupid. They actually believe Lincoln must have been a confederate because he was a Republican.

Some reason? You mean like Asians? Or Cubans? Running from danger must not be a "some reason".

And how do you think you look to most reader here, troll? You actually seem to be under the delusion that readers here actually respect your ill-conceived, childish rantings.

The U.S. owes no apologies to anybody, for anything it does in its own defense.


Every society has a right to fix the fundamental principles of its association, and to say to all individuals, that if they contemplate pursuits beyond the limits of these principles and involving dangers which the society chooses to avoid, they must go somewhere else for their exercise; that we want no citizens, and still less ephemeral and pseudo-citizens, on such terms. We may exclude them from our territory, as we do persons infected with disease.
Thomas Jefferson to William H. Crawford, 1816
