Muslims are starting to become annoying here

I don't know, Germans. Sounds pretty racist to me.

I'm not suggesting that Muslims aren't a problem. IRA members who planted bombs were equally a problem. Shipping the Irish to some remote location was not a solution.

In World War II, many of my people were shipped across country, and put in internment camps, without recourse to law or their rights as U.S. citizens. Simply because non-Japanese were afraid of them and hated them.

You're suggesting something that is little different. What difference is there? An internment camp, or their native country. You just want to get rid of people you don't like.

You're conflating the problems of nations and international politics with those of individuals and immigration.

You don't like the views of Muslims and some Muslim immigrants, so instead of using the tools of politics, law, and social discourse, which are the accepted tools of any pluralistic society, you want to use immigration policy to enforce your political views. That's a cheap, effective solution, but it also makes you as unpluralistic and anti-democratic as they are. Just because evil doesn't wear a turban doesn't make it any less evil.

Here in America, there is hatred and resentment of Mexicans. So people want to close the borders and send any undocumenteds back to Mexico. It's the same deal. People want to deal with their unease with accommodating people who are different than they are by using immigration policy and inflammatory racist rhetoric.

Playing the race card is not wrong if racism is being used to support indefensible policies. And playing the "you're just playing the race card" card has become a convenient way for racists to stifle criticism of their racism. Fuck you.

A report by General DeWitt and Colonel Bendetsen depicting racist bias against Japanese Americans was circulated and then hastily redacted in 1943–1944. The report stated flatly that, because of their race, it was impossible to determine the loyalty of Japanese Americans, thus necessitating internment. The original version was so offensive – even in the atmosphere of the wartime 1940s – that Bendetsen ordered all copies to be destroyed.
