SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A California congressman who was imprisoned in a Japanese internment camp during World War II is criticizing a Utah Republican candidate for his plan to detain undocumented immigrants in tent cities. In statement issued Friday, California Democratic Rep. Mike Honda said the plan from Jason Chaffetz, who is running for Utah's 3rd Congressional District seat, is an "odious reminder" of a shameful time in U.S. history. He says Chaffetz's comments on the plan will "fuel resentment toward targeted ethnic groups." "Jason Chaffetz's comments are more than just offensive and embarrassing to all Americans; they demonstrate a blatant disregard of the need to be vigilant in remembering the lessons learned from a disgraceful chapter in U.S. history," Honda said.

"( offensive and embarrassing to all Americans;)"
Uh, no, not to this U.S. American........Go for the tent jail. What I find embarrassing is not enforceing laws that allow this invasion to continue. Or the release of those who were caught.

Not true, his comments are in no way offensive or embarrassing to me (I am an American), his comments bring a smile to my face

Tents are mansions to them...they ususally live in cardborad boxes...this is a step up in the world for them. Why all the hubbub?

They are illegal Honda. What don't you understand about that word. Putting them in tent cities until we deport them ia great idea Anything to make them stop coming.
