Before the US entered WW I, the German ambassador to the US scoffed at the idea that the US would declare war on Germany by warning that a million German Americans would riot. The Secretary of State, Robert Lansing, replied that would not prevent a declaration of war as we had at least a million and one lamp posts.
As it happened, although there were German spy rings and incidents of sabotage, WW I produced a wave of patriotic fervor among German Americans.
During WW II, at least 11,000 Americans of German ancestry and many Italian Americans were interned. Most were adherents of the pro-Nazi Bund and express supporters of Italian fascism.
A number of Japanese and German spy rings were silenced by the internments. In addition, the risk of sabotage was reduced.
