1. The underlying story:

The video opens with the story of 89-year-old Haru Kuromiya, a Japanese-American who spent her childhood on a chicken farm in Riverside, Calif.

Sitting on a chair, with a shawl covering her small frame, Kuromiya talks about that fateful day in 1942, when government officials took her father. They were given tags and numbers to wear, she said. Then, they were placed on a train, and Kuromiya, who would have been in her teens then, found herself living in an internment camp.

“We had to leave our business, our homes and our possessions behind, even our pets,” she said. “We were an American farm family now living in an internment camp. And our constitutional rights were taken away from us. It all started with fear and rumors, then it bloomed into the registration of Japanese-Americans.”

2. The Trumpers are dead set on a Registry - I say just ignore it.

Tell Muslims to not register and let it die of uselessness. It has worked before. What did gun owners in Canada and several US states do when ordered to register their guns - nothing - they just ignored the order and the states/country gave up.
