All you recent immigrants who managed to become legal, don’t think that since voting with the racist party, aka, Republicans, that you or your children will be safe. If the racist party stays in control long enough, you and your children will be picked up and sent somewhere. They did it to the Japanese who were American Citizens. That concentration camp here in Texas is now being used to house non-white immigrants.
Japanese American groups criticized the construction of a new immigrant detention center in Texas at a military base that was used during World War II to imprison people of Japanese descent.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center at Fort Bliss in El Paso, which opened this past weekend, will be able to hold as many as 5,000 detainees upon its completion in the coming months, making it the largest federal detention center in U.S. history. Japanese American advocates, however, say that the facility, which once imprisoned people considered “enemy aliens,” is a chilling reminder of a dark past.
“The use of national security rhetoric to justify mass incarceration today echoes the same logic that led to their forced removal and incarceration,” said Ann Burroughs, president and CEO of the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.
“It is inconceivable that the United States is once again building concentration camps, denying the lessons learned 80 years ago.” Source
Like the 1940s White racist American, did not want non-white people living among them:
The governors of Montana and Wyoming feared it would spark racial violence. “Our people cannot tell an American-born Japanese from an alien,” said Montana Governor Sam C. Ford. “When casualty lists start coming in…I fear for the safety of any Japanese in this state.” Idaho’s Attorney General, Bert Miller, was less sympathetic. “We want to keep this a white man’s country,” he said. “All Japanese [should] be put in concentration camps for the remainder of the war.” Source
We were also fighting Germans and Italians. Did they send those White people to concentration camps? Of course not, white people in a white country won’t betray America, at least that’s what the racist white America thought.
Exceptions for those Germans and Italians who were working against our country’s interests were sent to camps.
Yes, German and Italian nationals and citizens were subject to internment during World War II, though the scale and nature of their internment differed from that of Japanese Americans. While Japanese Americans were largely interned based on ethnicity and proximity to the West Coast, the internment of Germans and Italians was more selective, often based on suspicion of allegiance to the Axis powers, with some being arrested and detained based on individualized suspicion.

So if you look like a Coconut and act like a Coconut, don’t assume you will be safe. We have two such people here in Texas who believed that starting a Trump Burger business would insulate them from ICE.
The founder of a second Trump Burger restaurant in Texas has been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is accused of being in the U.S. unlawfully, according to the Houston Chronicle. Source
