They should consider themselves lucky. If it were 1942 they wouldn't be going through a toll booth... they'd be in a detainee camp for Arab collaborators.

Exactly.
And what was so bad about the internment camps, anyway?
Those camps probably saved a lot of folks from being harmed by irate Americans, and I'd still bet they also served to prevent sabotage and espionage by the Quote-unquote "Japanese-Americans."
I have yet to meet a person of Japanese descent who did not think of himself as Japanese first, American (or other) second.

And I don't know why we can't do something like what the US was smart enough to do during WWI, when German aliens had to register here.

Why is that such an imposition on those who aren't even citizens here? I know the INS is supposed to keep track of them, but well, we can't expect too much from that agency, apparently.
