If any groups should be given priority for entry to the United States from the Middle East, it is Christians and Jews, especially women and children, who are targeted for extermination by Isis and other Arab groups in the Middle East
Donald Trump’s proposal to TEMPORARILY prevent Muslims from coming to the USA at this time is more liberal than the approach of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the other prevailing “liberals†of his era, as well as later self-proclaimed “liberals†and “progressives.â€
Franklin D. Roosevelt and his fellow “liberals†interned Japanese Americans who were already in this country. The Trump proposal does not propose such camps. The Japanese had launched a military operation against the United States at Pearl Harbor. ISIS encourages individual attacks by lone wolves, at any time and at any place. ISIS recruits people from all over to kill as many innocent civilians as possible throughout the world as well as in the United States. The Japanese did not recruit people from all over the world to murder innocent people all over the world.

Has a point. Lib icon Roosevelt confiscated property of Japanese in America and put them in camps (some called them concentration camps but they had very little in common with the German concentration/extermination camps), going well beyond any Trump proposal. Don’t think there were many Japanese trying to get into the US in those days except the ones in the midget Japanese subs near Pearl.
We shouldn’t have locked up the Japanese-Americans like we did but we did.
And they were good citizens and it was a Dem prez who did it.
Easy to say now, not such an easy call then.
