But PBS did NOT mention that those deportations were done at the orders of the most fascist/socialist president America has ever had -- Franklin D. Roosevelt, with the connivance of a Democratic-party-dominated Congress

The deportations were started in 1930, at the direction of Herbert Hoover, who was most definitely not a Democrat or liberal. Federal deportation efforts lasted until 1933, the year Franklin Roosevelt became President, but state and local officials did continue deportations throughout the 1930s.

Snidely, if only Hoover were connected with the federal deportations, PBS would definitely have dwelled on that, but they avoided saying Democrat or Republican because FDR did nothing to stop the states from continuing the deportations and he was responsible for the Japanese internments as well as internments of American-Germans.
