The spirit of ignorant fascism lives on

The Japanese suffered the consequences during WWII in American internment camps, which Trump promises to bring back.  But the House GOP would like to get a jump on it by deporting Palestinians. Then the camps won't have to be so big, I guess.
[A] GOP bill, introduced earlier this month by Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) with 10 Republican co-sponsors, would ban or revoke visas, refugee status and asylum for Palestinian Authority passport holders dating back to Oct 1, shortly before the Hamas attack on Israel.

[...]

[A countering] two-page resolution [...] is being introduced by Reps. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), both of whom are Jewish and steadfastly pro-Israel.

[...]

The resolution says the GOP bill “dangerously conflates Palestinians with Hamas” and “is un-American, bigoted, and is designed to inflame tensions which could result in violence.”

[...]

"Calls to expel Palestinians from the United States are racist, xenophobic and have no place in the government of the United States," Goldman said.
