Franklin D. Rooservelt threw over 110,000 Japanese-American Citizens in Prison Camps based on Race

Any you're saying that was a good thing?

The Japanese slaughtered Chinese civilians by the hundreds of thousands and kidnapped thousands of Korean women for sex slaves, and tortured captured American soldiers.

Roosevelt put 110,000 in camps to prevent sabotage. I think, somewhere in all that, the self-righteous outrage can be tamped down.

Federal troops, in the South, killed tens of thousands of civilians. You never hear any outrage over that.

No. Clearly throwing American citizens into prison camps based on the fact that they or their ancestors came from Japan was not good.

In fact, as was pointed out, reparations were made to some of them.

But it was done in the name of 'National Security'.

What Trump is doing currently is prevent people from known places of terrorist from entering the United States until there is a way to check backgrounds.

For example, a combination of lie detector tests, thorough checking the backgrounds of people wishing to enter the US from places like Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc., is a start, but clearly would not prevent terrorists from entering the US from these countries.

My point of the thread is that FDR imprisoned US citizens; Trump is trying to prevent terrorists from other countries from entering the US.
