Perhaps we are silent only because it did not happen during our time.  I
don't recall exactly when that happened but I would not have been more
than five years old, if I even existed.

BUT, I will say that I deplore that action, as well as the internment of
Japanese-American citizens (which I did not even find out about until I
was about 28 and my wife was working in an office where one such person
was also working).  I also deplore the passing out of smallpox laden
blankets to our Native American people, and the forceable removal of
their children where they were placed in English schools and forbidden
to speak their language.

The USA has done many displicible things over the centuries.  That does
not excuse what is happening right now on our southern border.
