Argument for internment camps is bunkz0r
Amazing that people continue to push this idea. A woman named Michelle Malkin just wrote a book called "In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling."
We have covered this ground before, but the internment of Japanese was appalling at best. The US Govt placed tax-paying, solid Americans into horse stables in the name of national security. It was an atrocious act on the part of our government.
And now some entertain the idea of interning Arab Americans. Thoughts?
EDIT: browsing the web and got this quote from Charles Lindbergh:
"These wars in Europe are not wars in which our civilization is defending itself against some Asiatic intruder... This is not a question of banding together to defend the white race against foreign invasion." Building on his belief that "racial strength is vital," Lindbergh published an article in Reader's Digest stating, "That our civilization depends on a Western wall of race and arms which can hold back... the infiltration of inferior blood."
Wow

FYI:
Michelle Malkin is Asian
Her book does not endorse internment camps. But tries to do a comparison between what Roosevelt did to Japanese American's and racial and ethnic profiling used by the Bush administration in regards to National security and warfare

Filipino specifically. And her race hardly matters... look at Clarence Thomas
The premise of her book centers around the idea that because of certain Japanese Americans who may have been spies, the internment camps were necessary
I have read some of her articles online and that woman comes screeming in from the wastelands of the far far right
