You also go to internment camps for breaking the law. So I repeat: how are they different?

One is a failure of social order, product of greed, evil and stupidity. The other is the largest-scale arbitrary detention of ethnic and religious minorities since World War II.

No, you get sent to internment camps because you’re a prisoner of war or because of some basic property of your being.

The comparison would be the Japanese internment camps the US had in WW2.

There is nothing like that today where citizens are being locked up without breaking any laws.

In other words, for breaking the law, when the law says "don't be Japanese"
