“Why do you think that fdr interned the Japanese citizens living in America during WWII? Because they would not have been safe in any other place in America.”

Actually it was only done to the Japanese living in the Pacific coast states, excluding the territory of Hawaii.

And there is some evidence that the internment was done in order to capture several hundred spies without tipping our hand that we had identified them; their identities had been learned because we had broken the Japanese naval and diplomatic codes. If only the spies had been rounded up Japan could have figured out how we did it, and changed their codes.
