It should be pointed out that during WWII FDR put American citizens of Japanese descent into camps. That was pretty common during wartime and periods of strife. Hitler pretty much ruined that, however, paticularly for Germans.
Its just not a realistic or viable suggestion.

Unfortunately people read far more into the comments that exists destroying any viability.

It was wrong when FDR did and would be wrong now. Same crime, different year.

He put the Japanese on the West coast into internment camps. Why? Because our Federal government knew there were Japanese spies on our soil reporting back to Japan on our activities. There were also saboteurs in their midst. And the Japanese were not willing to rat them out. Same problem with the Muslims. They know who the jihadists are, but they won't report them.
