We as a country incarcerated Japanese families during World War II. The history books will not let us forget that good people looked away and let it happen.

The Nuremberg Trials held the Nazi responsible for inhuman atrocities to an entire class people. The history books will not let us forget that good people looked away and let it happen.

The history books will not let us forget that 45th president of the U.S. and the Republican party incarcerated thousand of children for political gain. And that his party including Congressional leaders looked away and let it happen. They looked away and lied about the justification for separating families seeking asylum. They look away and lied by weaponizing passage from the bible. They lied and blame the entire program of tearing children as young as infants away from their mothers and families on an opposition political party.

History will mark this dark moment. And it will name the those who perpetrated these atrocities.

How are we any different than those in other countries who, in the name of religion, terrorize innocent people.

We are creating a new generation of people who will hate Americans and seek revenge on future generations.

A vicious cycle.
