<< Can you imagine Roosevelt in `43 saying, "I'm putting Italians/Germans ..... >>
No but he did put Soviets in charge of way too much, including much of his administrationa and the lands and lives of scores of millions of Eastern Europeans.
On the other hand, Italians, [Mafia] largely as the result of the nod and wink and blind eye of the mobbed-up Soviet-agent-coddling New-Rackets-Deal Roosevelt administration have to all intents and purpose "run our ports" for decades and with a few forced accomodations for Asian, Russian, South American and a few other organized-crime gangs, still do.
And during World Wart II, men named Swartz and Wolfgang and Gieske and Schumer and Hirohito and Becker and Schroeder and Eisenhower, many of whose whose Mothers and Dads and older siblings couldn't yet speak English, not only managed our ports and our airports but flew our fighters and our bombers and lead and followed and sweated and fought and bled and died as Americans.
For America.
"And during World Wart II, men named Swartz and Wolfgang and Gieske and Schumer and Hirohito"
Minor quibble: many names of Japanese origin, but not Hirohito.
