Americans of Japanese heritage say they hear echoes of their families’ forced internment in the Trump administration’s newest immigrant detention site.
Homeland Security officials say Donald Trump’s sweeping mass deportation campaign requires a build-up of detention centers to bridge the gap between arrests and removals. They’ve turned to the U.S. military and private contractors to get the job done, including erecting the nation’s largest immigrant detention site on Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.
But stewards of Japanese American history, including the children and grandchildren of those who were held in detention, are criticizing the use of Fort Bliss and the plans to expand immigrant detention on American military bases.
I wish I was back in the timeline where Nazis got their cheeks clapped
With an m1 garand bullet?
Finally see someone else use this GIF. Kudos
This is mine now.
Fun fact: A good amount of Americans during WW2 wanted to support Nazi Germany
The northern states, in contrast, supported the Allies.
Yet we’re still racist as hell
You might be there once this administration goes full holocaust
history rhymes, and similarly, this won’t look good in future textbooks
Which is why they’re dismantling the educational system here too
I sure hope that future is less than hundred of years from now
There won’t be future textbooks.
You assume the cephelapodes aren’t watching
There are no parallels that can be drawn here.
Remarkable how the homeland security spoke person specifically calls out the center being used for the “worst of the worst” and mentions rapists and pedophiles, of which her boss is convicted of one and under investigation for the other. Doesn’t bat an eye.
Imagine being insulated from reality to that degree, or just having the sense that those rules don’t apply to some.
$1.2 billion for a tents. Who are the private contractors ripping off the US taxpayer? The Japanese-Americans are 100% correct.
$1.2 billion and it will house 5000 people.
That’s $240,000 per person.
I can do it for a quarter of that and everyone gets to keep their new houses we’d build. And the old houses they would be being enticed to leave. And their human rights and dignity.
Most of the money is spent on weapons
This morning I was just talking with someone how literally nothing has changed from the japense “internment” camps and whats happening now. No clearer sign these are more illegal racist concentration camps
Hey, Dean Tanaka, better known as Dean Cain, could work there! Maybe he can find the cell his father was intered in!
In other words, history repeats itself.
Time is a flat circle.
Hope someone is setting up bank accounts for future reparation payments…
If we ever get a real government again they need to seize all Trump assets and sell them as a starting point.
Rubbing it in, big time.
Boethius over there screaming about wheels.
