General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Get One Thing Clear: NSA Domestic Spy Op Is FASCISM [View all]There may not have been camps for Germans, but many were barred from entering this country because of immigration restrictions. There was a mass fear of immigration that went far beyond what is happening now because it was based on eugenics. The effort was intended to ban any race other than white, religions other than Christianity, and people with disabilities from reproducing in the American gene pool. The goal was to build the Nordic superior race. Some were not welcome, but many Germans were more welcome than others at the time. What was happening was sick, misguided and copied by NAzi Germany.
There have been ugly times and disgusting policies in this country. Comprehending the justifications is not the same as agreeing with them. Paying attention is instructive. I agree with you about GITMO.
