To be fair, he is right. There existed Italian-American and German-American internment during WWII, mainly they were stationed in New Mexico, under executive order 9066. The numbers are however extremely small compared to the Japanese-American numbers. I studied the two FDR executive orders, along with a lot of material around the internment camps, since we have a very known one in Colorado (Camp Amache) and I wrote a piece of work about Gov. Ralph Carr's original documents last year. Ralph Carr being basically the only good politician in America during that time in regards to "enemy aliens". Both his fellow Republicans as well as opposing Democrats had deeply problematic views on immigrants after Pearl Harbor.
