I am on friendly terms with a fellow (a neighbor) who is Jewish and who is strongly in favor of deporting all Muslim refugees, forthwith. My opposition to this simple but radical solution to the potential problems these refugees could cause as time goes on is based on the cute little refugee kids and the apparently harmless women I see in televised images of arriving refugees hordes.
Instead of sweeping deportation, which would doom most of the truly helpless and dependent refugees to death or living misery, I believe the most practical solution would be to establish concentration camps in which to confine all of the young, strong, military-age males while we carefully and effectively vet each of them. Those who seem safe and non-threatening can be released to seek employment. Those who do not will be summarily deported to the nation they came from.
My Jewish friend thinks because my lineage is German the concentration camp solution occurs to me as a genetic instinct. I think he rejects the idea out of hand because as a Jew he has an innate aversion to the idea because of what I have termed the Auschwitz orientation. He said just the words "concentration camps" give him a chill.
My idea does not call for death camps but something along the lines of the camps wherein peaceful Japanese citizens were confined during WW-II. These Muslims are not even citizens and the only purpose for confining them is to keep in eye on them and restrict their movements while we find out who they are and whether we can trust them.
So I'm asking for opinions. Is this a good idea, or not?
