  It’s important to remember it was a Democrat president that did it.

  When we go to war with Venezuela we'll have to reopen the camps under President Warren.

  That was a very dark time. Most of those people had come to the US to get away from growing Japanese militarism. The number found engaging in espionage was zero.
  
  CA Governor Earl Warren did cooperate with that. Maybe this is why he changed and did work to ameliorate prejudice against the marginalized as SCOTUS Chief Justice.

  It was indeed a dark, despicable period in our modern history. The were American citizens for the most part, and many of them were forced to sell successful businesses and properties for pennies on the dollar.
  
  And before anyone tries to use the war to justify this egregious trampling of rights, how many families with German and Italian names were put in detention camps?

  ^^^^ True, as you say, more WWI than WWII.
  
  There was less popular support for WWI.

  Popular support for WW2 was garnered via racism against the Japanese for the most part.
  
  One interesting thing is, the allies never bombed the train tracks leading to concentration camps...

  “Popular support for WW2 was garnered via racism against the Japanese for the most part.” BS. There was clearly an element of racism in the wartime propaganda, but to say popular support was based “for the most part” on racism is BS. They attacked us, remember? That’s why there was popular support for a war against Japan.

  There was already anti Asian sentiment in the US. THe country had segregation, it was built on racism. Americans then, like today had no problem joining in cheers of blood lust against people who look a little different.
