The reason this is important is we might have Muslim and illegal aliens from Mexico and south of the border in new internment camps 1 year from now built by Trump's people. So, this is why this article is so important now.

World War II Japanese internment camps in the U.S.
During
World War II, more than 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry were
relocated and incarcerated for years following Japan’s attack on Pearl
Harbor.
Largely considered one of the most egregious civil-liberties violations in American history, thousands of American citizens,
many of them children, were forced to sleep in overcrowded, converted
barracks and even horse stalls with no running water. Families’ assets
were seized, and while many returned after the war to find their homes
defaced and destroyed, others found their small businesses and
industries co-opted by permanent residents and were forced to find less
appealing work.
Japanese-American
lawmakers lobbied for years for a formal apology, and in 1991 President
George H.W. Bush issued one in conjunction with the federal
government’s reparations payments to Japanese-Americans, saying the US
should “recognize that serious injustices were done.”
“A
monetary sum and words alone cannot restore lost years or erase painful
memories — neither can they fully convey our nation’s resolve to
rectify injustice and to uphold the rights of individuals,” Bush said.
“We can never fully right the wrongs of the past, but we can take a
clear stand for justice and recognize that serious injustices were done
to Japanese-Americans during WWII.”
Donald Trump has expressed support for a Muslim registry during his campaign for president.
Last
year, Trump said that while he did not necessarily support Japanese
internment camps, he would “have had to be there at the time” to decide
whether it was justified for President Franklin D. Roosevelt to violate
the US Constitution by quarantining more than 100,000 Japanese
immigrants and Japanese-Americans without cause. (Business Insider)
