You believe it is cruel to lock up a countries people because the country is at odds and or attacking the United States.
I believe it is a good move to hold the countries people aside until things calm down so the U.S. doesn't get attacked
from within itself.
Everyone has their own opinion and my opinion does not make me a racist, and the comment on my friends not being white
came from you insinuating that I am a racist which in fact I am not. So that being said you are lying about the out of the blue
statement and again insulting me for some reason I have yet to grasp. Probably because you think it makes you smart and me dumb
or you better then me in some way because I don't support one of your democrat contenders.
your ignorance to the timeline and actual conditions of japanese internment camps is shining through here. It is not cruel and unusual to hold people, the conditions of the camps themselves were cruel and unusual.
Perhaps you should read up on the wiki for a history lesson:
specifically portions such as this:
Quote
According to a 1943 War Relocation Authority report, internees were housed in "tar paper-covered barracks of simple frame construction without plumbing or cooking facilities of any kind." Many camps were built quickly by civilian contractors during the summer of 1942 based on designs for military barracks, making the buildings poorly equipped for cramped family living.[citation needed] Throughout many camps, twenty-five people were forced to live in space built to contain four, leaving no room for privacy.[93]
And perhaps you need a bit of a refresher on the United States Constitution:
Quote
4th Prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets out requirements for search warrants based on probable cause as determined by a neutral judge or magistrate.
Interred Japanese received no due process, a violation of the 4th ammendment.
Quote
6th Protects the right to a fair and speedy public trial by jury, including the rights to be notified of the accusations, to confront the accuser, to obtain witnesses and to retain counsel.
6th ammd. violation, imprisonment without a trial or representation.
Quote
8th Prohibits excessive fines and excessive bail, as well as cruel and unusual punishment.
Conditions inside the camps themselves were an 8th ammd. violation
Quote
13th Abolishes slavery, and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.
Potential 13th ammd. violation for those forced to do labor in camps without a trial for a crime.
Quote
14th Defines citizenship, contains the Privileges or Immunities Clause, the Due Process Clause, the Equal Protection Clause, and deals with post-Civil War issues.
Perhaps most notably a 14th ammd. violation and an affront to the equal protection clause, defined:
Quote
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
