What's the big deal? During WW2 we had thousands of American citizens

state). There they stayed, without access to American courts, until
repatriated to their home country.

not true. There were "concentration camps" filled with thousands of
American
Citizens, but the did have access to American Courts (just search on
those
brave
few who refused to be drafted). There were absolutely zero POW camps that
held
American Citizens in the USA during WW2

The correct term was "internment camps".

But this all happened before "political correctness" was invented, no?


maybe before the republicans institutionalized it as an item to accuse others of
when they felt too uncomfortable with the public realizing what was happening
