Perhaps we should put a little historical perspective on this. While I personally believe this man is entitled to all rights and protections that the law allows him as a citizen, this is by no means a historical first. Well, perhaps in one way it is. We are only dealing with one person here. In 1942, the ever exalted President Franklin D. Roosevelt, signed Executive Order 9102 into action and imprisoned over 130,000 individuals of Japanese decent. Over 77,000 of these individual were U.S. citizens. These people were never charged, most of the 130,000 plus individuals were not even suspected of any crimes against our country. Many of these lost homes, businesses, etc... by the stroke of a Democrats pen.
