And Now We're Talking About Internment Camps?

http://www.motherjones.com/media/2016/11/trump-japanese-internment-camps-muslim-registry


A Donald Trump supporter cited the United States' use of Japanese internment camps during the World War II as precedent for implementing a registry of Muslim immigrants in an interview on Fox News Wednesday.

President-elect Trump first suggested creating a registry for Muslims in November 2015, and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach told Reuters on Tuesday that Trump's immigration advisors were drafting a proposal on how this could be implemented.

Carl Higbie, a former Navy Seal and vocal Trump supporter, told Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly that he thinks such a proposal could pass legal muster, citing the internment camps as precedent.

He's already pissed off most of our allies. I'm worried that with his deportation plan that somebody is going to declare war on us. And it won't end well.

I met someone, back in the 90s, who stayed there.
I don't ever forget what we've been willing to do over the history of our nation.

and I damn sure don't mean the Secret Service. Going to be a dangerous and very unsettled two to four years in this country and if they(the republicanKKK) don't relinquish power, worse than that for the foreseeable and un...........future.......thanks much white ameriKKKa. I now know how many enemies I have around me, EVERY FUCKING DAY. These ameriKKKans have started the destruction of this country and NO!!!!!!....... I don't have to wait and see. Trumpfuhrer said what he wanted out of ameriKKKans during his campaign and in no uncertain terms.

His duped followers and brownshirts will now carry out his orders and he won't have to say a word. Be ready for some bloody, ugly times. Especially melanin enhanced people...first....the rest later.

9. But we are supposed to have sympathy for the mostly white dudes who voted for this creep.

You can't fix stupid. These morons deserve no sympathy, no respect, because they keep voting the wrong way.

Just HOW would it be determined who is a Muslim for a registry, let alone a camp? You certainly can't determine religious affiliation by physical appearance.
