Japanese internment camp survivors protest Ft. Sill migrant detention center - Los Angeles Times

With the Trump administration planning to move 1,400 migrant children to this fortified Army post later this summer, a small group of Japanese American World War II internment camp survivors came to the gates Saturday to make their opposition known.

“We are here today to protest the repetition of history,” proclaimed camp survivor Satsuki Ina, 75, of San Francisco, one of about two dozen former internees and their descendants in attendance.

Met by uniformed military police, the protesters, some in their 80s, were told they did not have permission to congregate and might face arrest. “You need to move right now!” one of the officers shouted. “What don’t you understand? It’s English: Get out.”

Is this a great country, or what?

Wow, 1,400 migrant children incarcerated. I wonder who is making money off this? John Kelly? And, of course, if they don't bother with toothbrushes or soap, they can increase their profit margin. Are beds really necessary?

It's all about making money for an industry whose lobbyists are greasing the palms of our elected officials. Nothing more, nothing less.

your right they should go back to their country and given back to their parents.
then there wouldn't be an issue.
 
The newspaper article says that it was a "small group" of former internees.


I am guessing that most Japanese Americans would respectfully disagree that the migrant detention centers are a "repetition of history." The Japanese Americans before World War II were hard-working and almost crime-free citizens and non-citizens who were rounded up in California and forced to leave their homes for those camps.

Those men and women and children who are being housed in migrant detention centers are people who violated our laws and forced their way into the country.


There is no rational comparison.

Do you think we should treat the migrant children the way Democratic politicians treat homeless American children in their tent cities?

If they hadn't been held in an internment camp, it doesn't matter if they agree or not, because they would have no frame of reference.
Do you even understand that most of the Japanese who were held in camps are now dead?
You're calling little kids criminals. Nice job.
Can't wait till the inevitable happens and this is exposed in a post-Trump era.
People like yourself will be muttering "we didn't know how bad it was".
Just like the Germans who were forced to look at what THEIR government did behind THEIR backs.

The major difference being, the Japanese internment survivors were American citizens at the time of their mistreatment, whereas migrant children from another country are not. We didn't kidnap these children from central America, and then confine them to detention centers.

Not much of a difference, the outcome is the same, children in internment camps.

They're not starving to death or being recruited by MS-13 in the detention centers, are they? Then their quality of life is better now than it was back home. The Japanese Americans who were placed in internment camps experienced the reverse effect- their quality of life went down, not up, upon being made to live in internment camps.

That would certainly be preferable, at least those democratic politicians provide toothbrushes.

That assumes that there aren't any dangerous people in the lockup with them, and that they are being fed nutritiously by ICE, neither of which are true. So no.

Well first..there is a rational comparison. because these are children.. who you are making out to be criminals and "forcing their way into this country"...in many cases.. they are asylum seekers.

The internment of the Japanese also included children.. and they were interned because they were erroneously viewed as criminals as well.

Sure... an Army officer is shouting at 80 year old's about not understanding English!

That is the stupidest thing that I have heard in quite a while.

It is about taking care of children whose parents brought illegally into multiple countries and along a life and death death march across a dangerous terrain.

Who let these dangerous people into the country? We we're told the caravans were just undocumented workers looking for a better life.

and that they are being fed nutritiously by ICE, neither of which are true. So no.

This is a worrying trend among immigrants from Central America... many who think that they can put their kids straight to work and many even think that they can sell... such is the misconception about the freedoms we have in America.

The internment camps which housed German Americans weren't racist, so those are rarely if ever mentioned. Gotcha. Well, according to you guys, Hispanics are white, so where's the issue?
