At least we can take solace in the fact this is totally unprecedented, a complete first for this country. ....oh wait.

  A lot of people genuinely believe this is a first because they know nothing about the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2

    I knew about those internment camps -- because they were widely recognized afterward as a stain on our national character, something never to be repeated. And I knew about the hieleras[1] and about Guantanamo. And about so many other instances in history, from so many governments. But I hoped our arc would not be toward more people treated this way, more proudly. I hoped we would stop running so eagerly toward the poison.

    Even before that we had practice with the Indian genocide during Jackson’s term…Trump respects Andrew Jackson a lot.
