Yes. Most of the 'west' is though. To be honest some of the 'east' is too. Most governments have done this or equally bad things. This isn't to excuse the 'US' more highlighting that there is a problem with building a group of people into an organisation that gets to make all the decisions about both a certain group or certain groups of people supposedly under their care, and who make decisions about how they should 'deal' with other groups of people.
[Sarcasm] It's almost like making arbitrary lines on pieces of paper and then isolating yourself somewhat or completely from people outside of those lines and being selfish instead of sharing is a bad idea.
