Mayor Of Large US City Calls For World War 2 Style Internment Camps For RefugeesBy John Vibes These Internment camps were eerily similar to those used in Germany by the Nazis, although the Nazi camps were obviously more grotesque. The camps in America were still inhumane, and these details are many times left out of our history books. Americans were never on any kind of moral high ground during World War 2 and they arent in modern times either. In the aftermath of the recent Paris attacks, and in light of the controversy involving immigrants and refugees, Roanoke Mayor, Democrat David Bowers, has actually called for a return of Roosevelts internment camp policies from World War 2. Im reminded that President Franklin D. Roosevelt felt compelled to sequester Japanese foreign nationals after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and it appears that the threat of harm to America from Isis now is just as real and serious as that from our enemies then, Bowers wrote in a recent statement. His comments sparked outrage, and quickly gained the attention of the national media. Actor and Internet favorite George Takei responded to the statement on his popular Facebook page, saying: Mayor Bowers, there are a few key points of history you seem to have missed. The internment (not a sequester) was not of Japanese foreign nationals, but of Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. I was one of them, and my family and I spent 4 years in prison camps because we happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. It is my lifes mission to never let such a thing happen again in America. The ACLU of Virginia also condemned the comments in a statement, saying that, The governments denial of liberty and freedom to over 100,000 individuals of Japanese descent many of whom were citizens or legal residents and half of whom were children is a dark stain on Americas history that Mayor Bowers should learn from rather than seek to emulate. Sadly, it seems that especially after the Paris attacks, there has been a wave of fear and hostility towards immigrants and refugees, which could actually push people to accept implementation of internment camps. In fact, this is a very real possibility, even if the US government does accept refugees with open arms, they will likely be housed in detention centers while they are being processed, and many times the processing takes over a year.This is actually already occurring in the US for both refugees and immigrants.

PUT every one of these MUSLIMS into these type camps until they can be proven safe to run around on the streets of aMERICA not killing any one . ////////////////////////////////////////////// Criticism of WWII internment camps is forever. Lets consider: Our Japanese citizens looked like the Japanese enemy. The Japanese enemy bombed our west coast, mostly Oregon, killing seven children and one adult. Their submarines patrolled both coasts, went up the Columbia River and bombarded the shore. The Japanese went ashore, were hunted down. Sunken enemy ships and subs both German and Japanese have been found off our coasts, most recent off Mass. about three years ago. During the war they were close and seen burning offshore. People with short wave radios could hear some of the action going on. So seems that the internment camps as sad and bad as it was, was the only alternative both to protect our country, and to protect the Japanese citizens from accidental shooting or prosecution. What would you do?
