It was not only illegal, and unconstitutional, but it was unamerican as well. I can't believe we've sunk to the point where this rot is being defended. Words fail to describe my utter disgust at my countrymen these days.

Why? It's none of those things. Interning enemy aliens (the Issei, Germans and Italian nationals) from our sensitive war production areas made PERFECT SENSE based on the intercepted intelligence available at the time and was supported by the USSC.
That's what you do in a war, son.

They won't kill you last for helping them, Melas. I'm frankly disgusted at suicidal attitudes such as yours.
You don't think that interring Japanese saved a lot of Japanese lives? It did. The anger of Americans after the bombing of Pearl was unthinking, and understandable. A number of Japanese never made it to the camps. Would you have seen more of that?
Here you are, 60 years after the fact, judging the consequences of war, a war in which a lot of American mother's son were killed. And every mother of a soldier stayed at home waiting for that telegram.
You had better believe that any little action that could increase the chance of her beloved boy returning home would be done and she'd be behind it 100%
Who knew which of the resident Japanese wouldn't pass information or coordinate a population attack? It's real easy for you, in hindsight, to know there were no attacks on this country, but the people then certainly didn't know.
Your ignorance of threat conditions in the past makes you incompetent to hold an opinion of another probable threat today.
