"warrantless surveillance for foreign intelligence collection has been an integral part of our nation's foreign intelligence gathering. During World War II, our warrantless surveillance of the German and Japanese militaries and the breaking of their codes preserved our democracy."

Those were called internment camps, and the surveillance aspect was not the largest of the residents` worries.
If you bothered to read and understand history, you would also know we paid money to the survivors in the 80`s for the abuses.
(You`re thinking of the McCarthy era, that was after WWII and also illegal, immoral, and anti-American.)
The comparison stands. The Republicans are still likening Americans to enemies of the state like the Germans and Japanese in WWII.
