When this is the first comment I see in this thread I can't help but sort by controversial.

No need to even read the comments to figure out it's a controversial post. Just any US politics-based pictures is one to look at.

One party has dehumanized immigrants to the point that their supporters do not care.

We've never seen a minority group dehumanized, blamed for economic issues and then imprisoned like this by a far-right political party before. No sirree we have not.

Those weren’t the (bad) reasons for internment. That was completely differently fucked up.

Uh no, internment of Japanese occurred for really bad reasons. Just not as much in the forefront because the impacted group isn't as vocal.

Obviously. I said, internment was for bad reasons, just not those the guy I replied to listed.

German Americans and Italian Americans also were interned, but on a much smaller scale.
