Authoritarianism in America...
- Thread starter dealmaker
- Start date
Done by a "progressive" democratic administration. Just another inconvenient truth about the tolerant left.
I'm sure all those progressives were being persecutorial against the Japanese Americans.
The incarceration of loyal Japanese Americans was an unconstitutional tragedy that failed to distinguish between invader-wannabes/actual invaders and the sacrosanct, protected status of American citizens who are entitled to respect and full protection of the law. Many/most of the incarcerated Japanese were American citizens.
That's why we should never follow policies that blur the line between citizens and non-citizens. The Japanese in the camps argued publicly and before the Court - Korematso v. U.S.- that firm distinctions should be made between U.S. citizens and those seeking to force their way into the country. I am 100% on board with that.
