That was indeed the logic then. Keep in mind though that the internment was based on 'race' and 'ethnicity'. This action is based on citizenship and it's a job limitation not a forcible relocation into an open air prison.

You say this like it's a meaningful distinction?

Surely it is? It would be a very different policy to say "anyone vaguely asian is banned from the lab, even if they're an American citizen"

		Yes, we reserve additional scrutiny, roundup, and detention for people who are vaguely Latino.

It's a massive distinction. I live in Germany and if the government said I couldn't have a job because of my race or ethnicity I think that would be majorly problematic. If they said I couldn't because I'm American I would think that restriction should be reserved for narrow circumstances (secure projects) but it's generally acceptable.
