Well said.
Some Algerians have been in France for quite a long time, and they may be OK, but how can you be sure? Certainly Marseilles is a dangerous mess.
The best thing would be to shovel out the late comers first, and those from distant countries where France was not much involved, if at all.
FDR did the Japanese internment quietly and without much fuss, and while it couldn’t have been very pleasant I think it was a lot better than the way Western internees were treated by Japan.
1941 Dec. -The immigrant Italians were [some] put under house arrest- All shortwave radios and Italian-American newspapers were confiscated. My grandmother, a naturalized U.S. citizen at the time and leader of the Italian Association, was put under house arrest, but my grandfather, who was not a citizen and illiterate, was not. He hid his pistol in the basement. They smuggled Italian newspapers from Brooklyn anyway. My grandmother always laughed about it that she was such a big shot that the US Govt kept her in prison. After the war, she was more popular than ever in politics.
