So in other words Trump's immigration policies perfectly line up with the godhead of Modern Progressivism, FDR? Who did in fact deliberately bar and turn away Jewish refugees? Damn Eichenwald is an idiot!

Indeed, FDR actually did what Eichenwald is claiming Trump would have done in some alternate universe. He appointed a rabid anti-Semite, Cordell Hull, as Secretary of State, and it was on his advice that he turned back Jewish refugees, most of whom went on to die in concentration camps.

Shame the Eichenwalds slipped through the cracks somehow.

Ehhh, FDR had concentration camps of his own.
 
We didn't exterminate people in them.

Not actively, but a large number of people still died because of shitty conditions, neglect, malnutrition, shit like that. The fact that it was done to American citizens at all is abominable, even if the camps hadn't been disease-ridden pits.

:offtopic:You'd think, having experienced that horror for himself, George Takei wouldn't be such a good little Democrat soldier, but apparently he ranks Trump as worse than FDR by a longshot. I guess being deprived of your freedom based on nothing but your race just can't compare to barring trannies from the military.
 
Well, technically speaking, Hitler's "concentration camps" were actually death camps. The term, prior to WWII, was used to refer to camps that you would lock a population up in (as was done in the Japanese internment camps.)

Death camps, or extermination camps, were those like Sobibor, Treblinka, or Auschwitz-Birkenau, were those where people were just immediately killed upon arrival. The others, where people generally at least lived for a while before dying, were more properly called concentration camps or labor camps, although the original Auschwitz also took on the nature of an extermination camp as the war progressed.

The U.S. equivalents can be technically described as concentration camps, as they were designed to concentrate a population by ethnicity or national origin, but naturally the connotation of "concentration camp" is now inextricably linked with the Nazis. It's still shameful we ever did this, though, especially to a particularly loyal minority group. There were vastly more traitors of German origin in the U.S. than Japanese, but it wasn't considered feasible to treat white people like that.

Not only that, but it was much more difficult to filter out Germans from a group of white people (most of whom having already integrated) than it was to just round up the Japanese.

Also, filtering out the recent German immigrants from others whose ancestors had been living here since the 19th century would be a much more difficult task.
