Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) on Monday compared congressional Republicans' acceptance of President Trump's executive order restricting immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries to lawmakers who didn't fight against the Japanese internment camps during World War II.
The history of the U.S. government forcing Japanese Americans to live in camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor is personal for Takano: His parents and grandparents were among the people in those camps.
"History often forces us to ask ourselves: How would we have acted if we lived in that moment?" Takano mused in a fiery House floor speech. "Through the president's recent executive order, we no longer have to wonder."

Because FDR was such a Hitler.
Whatever... who cares what they think
hee hee... good point!
We never heard a peep of protest from Democrats against FDR’s internment executive order.
Partisan sour gripes.
If I recall correctly, travel to and from Japan during that time was prohibited. Are they saying we should of had open immigration with Japan during WWII? Are the Dems saying Trump is like FDR?
You would have been 100% on board with it, and would have climbed on the truck willingly for your unscheduled vacation to an internment camp.
That's because the Japanese internment program was implemented in a DEMOCRAT administration.
Oh, no - a hold for 90 days! 120 days!
The horror; the horror!
Well heck yeah. It’s like identical twins right? Sounds like someone needs a history lesson or three.
The Democrats ..... Promoted and tried to expand Slavery.
That’s a fact.
The higher these lunatics climb in the crazy tree the more they alienate the voters (except of course for their crazy core)
Let’s put up a bill to legalize PURE Open Borders.
No checkpoints, no passports. Just show-up and you’re in.
Then let’s see how many Democrats will vote for it.
This governor is the kind of guy who had his wife do his college papers and probably take his tests. I went to college with guys who did that as well.
Does Rep. Tanako ever stop to ponder the fact, that a Democrat president put his people in those camps??? He calls himself a Democrat?? How can he in good conscience identify with the party which perpetrated the act he decries????
They should know, since it was a Democrat who put that in place.
Thank you representative Trigglypuff.
The histrionics are very enjoyable. Every day another phony outrage and we get to watch the libs make absolute fools of themselves.
Trump has not even suggested Muslim internment, nor has he suggested making this limited ban more than temporary.
Every time one of these morons throws a hissy fit, Trump should extend the order by 30 days announcing that "given the controversy this has stirred up, we need the extra time to consider more carefully how to best implement this temporary measure."
