Families are being separated. The media is all over it. Comparisons are made to the Japanese and how they were rounded up and put in camps during WWII much like the Mexicans trying to cross the border today.
Here's a bit of history that I bet you never heard. We all are aware of the Japanese being put in camps. Did you know that Germans and Italians were rounded up and forced into camps as well? There's a term called "Chicken Carl" because many Germans were trying to hide their ancestry for fear of being locked up. Germans changed the "K" in their names to use a "C" which was Americanized.
Why do we only hear about the Japanese being rounded up and never a word about the Germans and the Italians? Are only the Japanese worthy of sympathy and recognition of what they went through?
Oh....recognizing German Americans and Italian Americans as being victims would take the race card out. The media thrives on stirring up racism which they claim they want to stamp out. They don't. Peace and love are not good for their ratings.
