Absolutely it would - but it is actually far more effective than the involuntary kind and most people do not even realize that they are being restricted.
When you visit Disneyland you don't tend to notice the gates or walls once you're inside - but you are enclosed nonetheless.

Don't know why, but that is one of the reasons I've always avoided tourist traps. Maybe because I see tham as traps. Both in the fiscal and physical sense.
I prefer tramping through the woods. Or relaxing in the middle of a lake.
I guess I'm a bad guy.

Sadly Gut I have to agree, these are not meant for summer camp or weekend getaways for the rich.
For any fanatics muslum or not.

I just made a similar thread a couple of hours ago; I won't disrespect you by linking it. I suppose I should have searched to see if something similar was afoot here at ATS and added instead of author...it's odd that the same thought on the subject would arise independently from one another so close together.
I didn't go so far as to indicate that they would be used specifically for American's of Middle Eastern heritage, but with the climate of tension as it is; it doesn't seem too far out there as a possibility as to whom may be interned in these camps.

Well, yeah. Nobody is going to be interned at them, because they dont exist.

Are FEMA camps the equivalent of the Japanese internment centers for Arab-Americans and/or foreign nationals in the (likely) event of major war in the mid-east?

Nope. They need the immigrants from the Middle East on the streets so that they can fire up the fear machine and continue to try to justify the police state.
Those FEMA camps are going to be for young, male, American citizens who were born and raised here...since they are the one's most likely to stand to up to martial law.
First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me

Anyone clinging to the juvenile belief that they don't exist is only feeling themselves (yes, I meant "feeling" ha) the only question that remains is : What are they for?

Quite a stretch there sir.
No, those camps are not for Ma and Pa Kettle.
They are for, ready for, groups such as Oathkeepers, outspoken Military Personal who believe in the Constitution, and others who will act as leaders in a Uprising.
Arabs not hard to monitor a group that prays 5 times a day.

Nope. Them first, then you. It'll work smoother that way.
Don't be so impatient. You'll get your turn.

I'm not sure if I am understanding this correctly - but my allegorical comparative was painfully accurate. We all currently do exist in differing forms of prisons where we ignore the walls and buy into the illusion. Just the day to day grind of work is an example of one.
Mechanisms of control and detainment don't need striped uniforms and barbed wire to be effective upon the vast majority of us. They simply need a structured, repetitive, limiting aspect to keep us in line and predictably occupied - thus detained.
