December 8th, 1941 Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to bring thousands of Japanese people into the United States as refugees to flee from Imperial Japan. He claimed that the majority of Japanese people were not kamikaze pilots and that they were peaceful people. He also reasoned that the US should bring in thousands of German refugees to escape Nazi Germany arguing that the majority of Germans were not Nazis...
Oh wait... that would have been today's reaction...
Thank God common sense prevailed back then.
