We survived internment of Germans, Italians and Japanese in WW II.

Internment was actually ruled constitutional in Korematsu v. US. It can be a justifiable military action.

There was hardly any internment of Germans and Italians in WWII. In fact, about 25% of the country's population were German-Americans.

The only Japanese-Americans who could pose a risk were in Hawaii, and they were not interned.
