In 1942, we abrogated the Constitutional rights of a large group of American citizens who had done nothing wrong on the suspicion that they might at some point in the future, opt to favor their ethnicity over their nationality.
Given that we now have another ethnic group that threatens the very survival of this nation, and has already killed thousands of Americans, who show that their first loyalty (by a large majority) is to their religion over their nationality, and who freely admit that killing innocent civilians (even their own) is acceptable, does anyone envision a time when we could round up all Muslims living in the US and either deport them or intern them?
If not, how many US dead would be adequate to implement such a plan? A million? Ten million?
Finally, I would submit that it is entirely possible to have this country reduced back to a Depression-era subsistence lifestyle fairly easily. In fact, it may be possible to destroy American society completely. If this is the price of liberty, do the ends ever justify the means, or are we better off being destroyed and enslaved while maintaining the moral high ground?
