Modern Alternative to Japanese Internment

[Dereich]

Assume World War II or something equivalent happened with modern sensibilities. The United States has a large number of Japanese (or whatever equivalent) nationals who have emigrated from the country we are now at war with and the war is not expected to end quickly. The government has intercepted secret cables detailing an effort by the enemy government to mobilize those immigrants to act as part of their war effort.

I assume that in modern times the United States government would not seriously consider something like Japanese internment. What would the United States do instead? Would we do anything at all?

They quite literally are interning undocumented immigrants in facilities for merely existing in the country. The talk that things have changed for the better is an incorrect one.

Have you ever heard of Guantanamo?

I think Obama promised to close that "facility", but 13 years have passed and still...

maybe you guys aren't aware because your knees hit you in the face so hard, but the OP was asking about a specific nationality of people potentially needing to be locked up.  Illegal undocumented immigrants are not one nationality.  People held in GITMO are not one nationality.

Wait, did you guys just read the thread title?

People in GITMO are Muslims. It's not an ethnicity per say but it's still a culture.

So you believe that, using Deadoman's example, in a war with Brazil the United States would intern the approximately 450,000 Brazilian nationals in the United States, possibly in prisons or complexes off the US mainland?
