Detention camps are not a new concept. I challenge you all to research the American treatment of Foreign -and- American born Japanese, German, Italian people living in the United States during and post WW2. While the names have changed, The War Relocation Authority is alive and well. Rendition is being practiced by Obama despite his campaign promises to end it. Guantanamo is not going to close. The following is a list of camps and prisons used for holding both foreigners living in America and citizens who would not fight in the war (draft dodgers).
WRA Relocation Camps The War Relocation Authority (WRA) was the U.S. civilian agency responsible for the relocation and detention. The WRA was created by President Roosevelt on March 18, 1942 with Executive Order 9102 and officially ceased to exist June 30, 1946. Milton S. Eisenhower, then an official of the Department of Agriculture, was chosen to head the WRA. Within nine months, the WRA had opened ten facilities in seven states, and transferred over 100,000 people from the WCCA facilities. The WRA camp at Tule Lake, though initially like the other camps, eventually became a detention center for people believed to pose a security risk. Tule Lake also served as a “segregation center” for individuals and families who were deemed “disloyal” and for those who were to be deported to Japan. There were three types of camps: Civilian Assembly Centers - were temporary camps, most located at horse tracks, where the Nikkei (emigrants of Japanese ancestry or their descendants) were sent as they were removed from their communities. Think of these as places to sort red, blue and yellow detainees (order of importance). Eventually, most were sent to Relocation Centers. Relocation Centers - also known as internment camps. Relocation, Internment… these are nice ways of saying prison. If you aren’t allowed to leave, it’s a prison. Semantics do not change definitions. Think of this as rounding up all the homeless against their will, putting a fence and guards around them, not letting them leave, taking their children also against their will, and putting a sign up that says ‘home sweet home’. It is an indefinate holding area. Detention camps - housed Nikkei (emigrants of Japanese ancestry or their descendants) considered to be disruptive or of special interest to the government. This is prison for whoever is deemed a bad guy. The red and blue list. Guilty until proven innocent.
