Well, it only took us a little over 80 years, but we've finally caught up with the Nazi's.

Okay, we haven't made this official policy yet, but the simple fact that people are even entertaining this idea is startling. This is the USA, we're supposed to be better than this, but decades of the Right fear-mongering and marginalizing of minorities has led us down this road. And Donald Trump is driving the idiot bus as far and fast as he can.

Donald Trump told a reporter yesterday that he supports forcing all Muslims in the US to register their identities. Where have we seen this sort of religious tracking before??

We did something similar to the Japanese in WWII.  The US has quite a history of institutionalized racism and general awfulness, after all.

Okay, I read that article but didn't see where the US government created a database of Native Americans and the direct correlation between that and Hitler. Because that is what we're talking about.

As for marching, history is filled with refugees marching and forced marches. Maybe Hitler did take cues from American policy and maybe it's a stretch. The article you posted shows no historical evidence of such a correlation, only a claim that Hitler loved western books and might have told his senior officers that forcing Native Americans to march thinned their population down.
