Japanese in internment camps lived in fairly comfortable billets and roamed around the Army posts, and only those with evidence of associations with Japanese government officials of the time were interned.
That said, though, anyone in favor of illegal surveillance is mentally ill.
Yeah, apart from that pesky idea of being “free to go,” the internees were ok. /s
I know people who were interned (they were kids then), they were not comfortable.
They were stripped of their property both real and financial (never got it back) but more importantly they were stripped of their freedom.
Internment/inprisonment of any American CITIZEN without due process, during wartime or not, is an abomination.
