Its absurd to think that a government is devoting resources to "an entire group". NO ONE HAS EVER in this discussion or in the article or as a matter of official policy said an entire group is a direct security risk and then acted as such to counter that risk. This not simply a gross distortion of the facts on your part, its an idea wholly fabricated by you and then argued as if it is actually real. Furthermore, its an impossible task.
Additionally, Japanese were spying on the USA as they attacked and destroyed the US Navy and then invaded.
The goal of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (and aligned nations) was to destroy capitalism/the USA. Also an obvious problem. You are blathering about Hollywood blacklists while acting like very real espionage was not a serious problem and where at risk was the very existence of the nation and a full nuclear war, as Soviet Union and iron curtain countries were squaring off against the west intent on winning at any cost and spreading their misery across the globe. You do know who Stalin was don't you? The guy who butchered 10s of millions of his own people in that time? You are aware of the cultural revolution in china and how many millions were massacred for the greater good? Or... did you skip "obvious day" in high school? These problems were real.
Criticisms of what was done - endless
Better solutions proposed - zero
So simple and easy to be you.
