You mean like "Executive Order 9066"
"Japanese American internment refers to the forcible relocation and internment of approximately 110,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans to housing facilities called "War Relocation Camps", in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The internment of Japanese Americans was applied unequally throughout the United States. Japanese Americans residing on the West Coast of the United States were all interned, whereas in Hawaii, where over 150,000 Japanese Americans composed nearly a third of that territory's population, an additional 1,200[3] to 1,800 Japanese Americans were interned.[4] Of those interned, 62 percent were United States citizens."
Oh and what did Ronald Reagan feel he was obligated to do in 1988?
"In 1988, Congress passed and President Ronald Reagan signed legislation which apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government. The legislation stated that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership". About $1.6 billion in reparations were later disbursed by the U.S. government to surviving internees and their heirs"
That's smart lets not learn from history the right and wrong things to do.-

Huh??? American citizens of German descent and anyone who looked like they might be of German descent were rounded up into internment camps on the basis of their race? That's news to me.

Got evidence for that? Or are you talking only about Germans who were charged and convicted in a court of law for espionage and sabotage here?
By the way, since you said quote "we should go back to FDR memos of tactics used during WWII" then you'd be all for it if that was done again wouldn't you? After all that is what you are advocating, limitless executive power to imprison anyone, even American citizens, on patently racist grounds?
