It's been done before.
By the American government.
Just ask Japanese-Americans.
And, of course, there are other examples. Just ask the Jews of WW2 Europe. If you can find any.

Paying attention is a political act. History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme. So keep paying attention. We're all depending on each other.
Stay frosty, folks.
