Lawmaker Calls on National Guard to "Gather Up" Refugees and Put them in Detention Camps

• http://thefreethoughtproject.com

Tennessee state Representative, Glen Casada, the chairman of the House Republican Caucus in the state Legislature, wants to use military power to seek out the current refugees already in the states and round them up.

"If I err, it will be on the side of not having another Paris, France," said Casada in an interview with NPR. "When we let them in, we are letting terrorists in."

"We gather them, we take them back to ICE," said Casada. "We say, 'gentlemen, make sure these guys have no tie to terrorist activity.' "

For those not familiar, ICE stands for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the place Casada wants to 'take them back to' are strategic Detention Facilities across the country.

Women and small children be damned, no one is safe until all brown foreigners are locked behind bars.

Casada doesn't want to only go after recent refugees either. He proposes a massive surveillance apparatus be deployed against all refugees.

"I think we should not limit our response," he said to NPR in a tone reminiscent to that of President Roosevelt who ordered the Incarceration of Japanese Americans During World War II.

In a moment of rationality, one Tennessee lawmaker disagreed. "This unethical and irresponsible proposal to utilize military personnel to round up men, women and children should serve to truly shock our state's collective conscience," Rep. John Ray Clemmons said.
