**facepalm**
Did anyone see these moron “journalists” on Jeopardy?? With the easiest questions ever, they FAIL bad.
And here I never knew we buried the Japanese.
Hmm.
What did burying Japanese have to do with immigration? ;)
The American Indians found out what happens when you don't control immigration.
Have not heard from Kookie in a while.
Cokie is merely trying her best to equate illegal immigrants with the Japanese internment. However, the Japanese and their sons and daughters who were American citizens, did not enter this country illegally. Nor were they engaged in illegal activities, such as getting paid under the table, not paying withholding, etc. The internment debacle was a stupid wartime measure. It had nothing to do with immigration.
Well if they told the truth about history it would always show them as being on the wrong side of it!
As a side note, a former roommate of mine told me that her parents were interned. They were happy to go, as they feared the hostility of other Americans and felt safer in the camp. The camps were not like concentration camps. They had barbed wire around them to keep people out, not to keep people in. It is hard for us to imagine the climate at that time.
The Japanese Internment (and the Italian and German Internment here on the East Coast) was a national security issue.
IMHO, the barbarian invasions (aka “illegal immigration”) are also a national security issue.
