Uchida compared the atmosphere during the internments to the current rhetoric associated with building a wall on the country’s southern border with Mexico and limiting immigration.


These people had a serious harm done to them as they were American citizens. This harm was done by a Democrat President. They are diluting their message tying in with the current open borders crowd.

There is absolutely NO comparison between these two things.

None.

You know the Japanese had a plan to invade the US. They changed their mind for a very reason.

Lets put a different spin on that. American citizens were rounded up in Japan. We sent immediate notice that we expected our citizens to be returned to us. It was a long and interesting process with their return.

Japan gave us the same notice. They expected their citizens to be taken care of and returned. At that time knowing who was a US citizen or not was not clear and many rounded up WERE NOT and they were returned to Japan.

One of my first G.W. Bush disappointments was his failure to inter all the radical moslems in the country beginning on September 12, 2001. The 1998 movie “The Seige” set the example.

One factor that gets overlooked is that the incarceration of the J-Americans was also a huge land grab.

Southern California in particular was a rich agricultural area with much of the land owned by the JA's. That land was confiscated for non payment of taxes.

If FDR was going to be fair (he had no intention of that), then all property would have been put into trusts and returned to the owners after the war.

Why? It was FDR who did it. What’s that got to do with today? The wall is to keep people who are not legally allowed to be here, not keep people in who want to leave like the Berlin Wall.

my father left HS early so he could defend his country and the world....

no one gives two cents about his suffering....

sorry about the American Japanese but they at least were protected on American soil while our GI fathers were on enemy soil fighting evil people that not only bombed Honolulu but also tortured and killed many Americans.....

Easy to say with the benefit of hindsight.

Here's a question, let's say we go to war with China, what are you going to do with all the Chinese living here who were born in China?

With the homeland propaganda machine cranking here in the US,
the Japanese here would not have been able to survive unless removed from the general population for their own protection.
The Japanese should be thanking us for treating them as well as we did,
I would never ever apologize to them.

One of the few good decisions by Roosevelt (the Manhattan Project being the other). Some folks would probably argue that sacrificing the battleships at Pearl Harbor to bring a unified country into the war should make the list, but I believe that he misjudged the level of damage that the Japs could do.

Its my understanding that the General in charge of the West Coast was the prime mover of the Japanese internment. One could call him rascist. But interestingly, in Hawaii, which had far more citizens of Japanese descent were not rounded up as they were considered essential to the functions of the territory/proto state. Non citizens may well have been contained, I do not know, but I always found it interesting that Hawaii did not go the California route and they bore the brunt of the attack.

No doubt, many innocent Japanese-Americans were caught up in the WWII internment, but I suspect that the 20/20 hindsight being cast back to the early 1940s is just as shortsighted, and lacking in understanding of the realities of that time, as many other exercises in 20/20 hindsight some Americans just can’t resist indulging in.

There is no shortage of America hating leftist and guilt-ridden, self-loathing Americans who have an orgasmic emotional experience whenever America apologizes, or in any way admits some past wrong, however legitimate or illegitimate it might be.

I think entirely unwarranted self-importance and self-righteousness have more to do with this sort of thing than anything else. Some people spend their lives looking for the next emotional orgasm and this is one of the ways they go about it.
