Camps in America
Most people try not to repeat their mistakes. If someone
lies, then that person will apologize, and make a mental note to try and
entertain the truth. History is what the future depends on, and what Americans
can reflect on when making a decision. Unfortunately, major events in history
are liable to be repeated.
Some Americans don't know that the United States built
internment camps after Pearl Harbor. Japanese-Americans were prisoners in these
camps for no reason other than fear and sore entitlement. In Colorado, Camp
Amache comprised of 7,300 internees, and this is parallel to the concentration
camps that were constructed across Europe; the detained were gypsies, the
Polish, Russians, and Jewish persons. These displaced persons experienced
unfathomable horror; everything from malnourishment to excruciating labor to
death were everyday occurrences.
Americans forget the torture, the pain, and the suffering
from home and abroad. And now, Donald Trump is resurrecting the same ancient,
failed, and inhumane practices with his idiotic and beyond outdated ideas. He
believes that the U.S. needs to create a database of Syrian refugees and
incessant surveillance on mosques. For him to even suggest these outlandish
ideas should rift him from possible presidency. But he's seen as this hipster
politician that defies the rules and regulations set for candidates. His buzz
isn't loud; it's obnoxious and dangerous. Conservative Republicans need to quit
viewing him as a pesky mosquito that sometimes draws bad blood; he's a Wasp
with a Waspy facade.
