Dozens of Iranians and Iranian-Americans were held for hours at Washington State’s border with Canada over the weekend as the Department of Homeland Security ramped up security at border ports after Iran threatened to retaliate against the United States for the strike that killed its top military leader.
Most of the travelers were released after the extra scrutiny, according to administration officials, although advocates said some were denied entry into the United States.
Next come the internment camps. This country is doomed to repeat history. They held many US citizens for nothing during the Iraq War. If they had a mideastern name--they were stopped, taken and held--for doing nothing, even US citizens. It's like people lose all their rights if the government can call them the enemy--even when they are not.

Ethnic Germans and Italians in the US were not persecuted/hassled during WWII. Only Japanese.
No you are that in your little petty bigoted head. Keep hating, "1st class american". Ya'll hateful behind the keyboards, trumpsters, little cowards in real life.
Oh the irony --- You call out other people yet your own post^^^^ describes you to a tee.

Yes they were Germans, Italians and Jews.
from wiki "11,000 people of German ancestry were interned, as were 3,000 people of Italian ancestry, along with some Jewish refugees. The interned Jewish refugees came from Germany, as the U.S. government did not differentiate between ethnic Jews and ethnic Germans (the term "Jewish" was defined as a religious practice, not an ethnicity). "
and
"The arrests of suspected enemies extended far beyond our national borders. Under provisions of the Enemy Alien Act of 1798, the same act that allowed Presidents George W. Bush and President Obama to intern modern-day suspected terrorists, Roosevelt orchestrated the removal of 4,058 Germans, 2,264 Japanese, and 288 Italians from 13 Latin American countries — and locked them up around the United States, many in a secret government internment camp located in Crystal City, Texas, an isolated desert town located at the southern tip of Texas, only 30 miles from the Mexican border. His reason? Roosevelt feared security threats from Germans and Japanese in Latin America."
How the heck would DHS know someone has Iranian ancestry if they are U.S. citizens and have a U.S. passport? Something tells me that they were flagged for some other reason. Giving extra scrutiny to actual Iranian nationals is appropriate considering DHS should have a heightened security posture given world events.
Here, we see real thinking. People, don't believe everything you read.
I was wondering if there were any Iranian-American nuclear scientists working in any US facilities where secrets they have access to could benefit Iran build a nuclear bomb.

I edited my post after I remembered that passports do have places of birth on them.
