Would you support internment camps for Muslims?

America had internment camps for Japanese-Americans during WW2. Should we bring them back for Muslim Americans until the war on terror is won?

No. This is an extremely stupid idea.
 
Absolutely not and I would spend my time and resources to fight against such a thing.

I find the question to be a bit absurd. It is more propaganda if you ask me. Trump supporters support closing off our borders to people whom we can not properly vet. We also support reform on those coming in illegally. No one (at least not the vast majority of Trump supporters believe that Muslim Americans are bad). By asking this question, are you trying to imply that we are? Because we aren't! It is upsetting because when people do this it makes the Muslims in America start to wonder as well if this kind of nonsense is a possibility. It isn't.

In WW2 we were at war with Japan. For whatever reasons and feelings at that time (truly unknown or un-felt to us now) our government made the decision to have these camps. Today is a different place and time. Muslims here in this country who are here legally and are accepting of America - then they should also fight with us against Radical Islam and Terrorism.

With that said - do you believe that people who are here because they were granted citizenship from another country, but who hate America and our beliefs should be allowed to stay? I mean, citizenship is contingent upon certain things and one of those (imo) should be do honor America's constitution, people and our way of life. If you don't then why should you be allowed to be here?

Nothing justifies the government spying on Americans.

What nonsense. Judges have been signing search warrants authorizing phone taps by the FBI for quite a few decades now. FBI agents have also many times carried out surveillance of U.S. citizens where there was good reason to believe those persons were security risks. Actions of this kind have all along been completely justified and completely legal, and I am glad they continue to be done.

During WWII the US government spied on citizens who were aiding Nazi agents. Justifiably in my opinion. Later, during the Cold War against the Soviet Union they spied, again entirely justifiably, on agents of the KGB who had acquired US citizenship.

I hope US agencies are now actively spying on Islamic terrorists whether or not they are 'Americans'.

I am talking about spying without going through proper legal procedures. There must be a damn good justification other than someone's religion or political affiliation to spy on a person. There has to be activity that would lead them to believe the person is a threat. Otherwise we are really no different than our enemies, who we claim violate the rights of their citizens. We don't want the equivalent of the KGB in our country.

That is quite different from the kind of spying I am talking about and that our government has been guilty of recently. I am talking about illegal spying and expanding the powers of government organizations to allow them to do so because of the fear of terrorism or some other reason.

Yes, but it requires "probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation." Not "suspicion."

Words have meaning!

See fourth amendment.

And the problem is that the Japanese we confined, were not enemies in any form. They just had a different heritage, but came to American for the American dream.
 
The idea is so preposterous it's not even worth discussion.

I'm out. Have a nice day all.

What illegal spying, specifically, do you claim is taking place? Who is doing it, specifically? Who, specifically, has expanded the powers of which government organizations illegally, and how has the expansion been achieved? If you are claiming some part of the Patriot Act or some other law Congress has enacted is unconstitutional, you have not made your case. The Fourth Amendment right is not absolute. Where our national security is at stake, even fairly intrusive searches may not be considered unreasonable by courts. If some jihadist cell is plotting the mass murder of Americans, I want the plot broken up and the bastards dealt with.

I know the difference between probable cause and reasonable suspicion. I've also studied quite a few of the Supreme Court's Fourth Amendment decisions.
 
OP question is Stormfront **** and not something any reasonable person would consider entertaining, so why even ask it to begin with.

Not even worth dignifying with any other reply.
