Can you continue on this thought to help explain its relevance to the illegal immigration debate? Not being snarky, just not getting what you mean.
I think it would have been completely appropriate to view illegal Japanese immigration as a threat during WWII. I don't see anybody advocating any kind of poor treatment for legal immigrants in the current debate.
