WASHINGTON -- Two scholars say in a new research paper that despite earlier denials, the Census Bureau was deeply involved in the roundup and internment of Japanese Americans at the onset of U.S. entry into World War II.
The academics say the Census Bureau's involvement included identifying concentrations of people of Japanese ancestry in geographic units as small as city blocks, lending a senior Census Bureau official to work with the War Department on the relocation program and a willingness to disclose names and address of Japanese Americans.
While it is common today for the Census Bureau to publish reports that detail the number of people of a given race living in an area as small as a city block, such information was generally not available in the 1940s. But the authors of the paper contend that the Census Bureau provided such detailed information as well as age, sex, citizenship and country of birth to the War Department, now the Defense Department, on only one group -- Japanese Americans.

Keep in mind that another rabid liberal was president then, too.
FDR.
Excellent catch... Can’t wait to use this point on sanctimonious libs who think I’m paranoid.
Check THIS out...
I have a question. Just why is ACORN or anyone else involved in the US Census? Well, I know “why” they are involved, but how the hell did they get in?
And gun registration will not be used against us....(sarcasm).
Trust Me!
Look up Korematsu vs. U.S.. STILL good law.
8 of the 9 justices who decided Korematsu were appointd by FDR, the architect of internment.
It is amazing to think that such things happened and were ruled constitutional.....and various branches of government went along with it.
For those who believe it cannot happen to citizens today, just think about this spring's DHS report, the recent MSM "right-wing hate" stories following Tiller and the Holocaust Museum shootings and what a strong ACORN-led domestic security force could do.
I ignored the last census completely and I plan to do so this time.
Well, just wait till a 1-2 million casualty event (nuke, chemical, etc...) occurs.
Maybe the government will use that law to round up the 5-7 million muslim terrorist-enablers now in this country.
