My understanding, possibly incorrect, is that most (2/3?) of these folks


were naturalized US citizens, or even birth citizens. the rest were all what used to be called "resident aliens" i.e. green card holders, some of whom had been here for decades but for reasons of racially disparate treatment hadn't been allowed to proceed to citizenship.

If we have a national identity, and I believe we do, I think it is appropriate for us as Americans to apologize for wrongs committed under color of national action.

Just as much as we can take pride in great national accomplishments, even though they occurred prior to our time on the planet.
