RE: "Those among us who are a danger to society need to be removed. We do that to Japanese Americans [W.W.II]"

Most were relocated and some were interned, if I recall -- though I was way too young to actually remember the event.

Those relocated were done so in part for their protection.

"Those relocated were done so in part for their protection. "

That's what I have heard also. Do you believe it?

While the Kokuryūkai was active in the US before the start of WWII, recently declassified FedGov documents show to what extent and role these 'spys' played Also an intertsting site - http://www.nickgrantadventures.com/Japanese_Spy_Activities.htm adds this The most dangerous of these people were either in custodial detention or members of such organizations as the Black Dragon Society, the Kaigun Kyokai (Navy League), or the Hoirusha Kai (Military Service Man's League), or affiliated groups. The membership of these groups was already fairly well known to the Naval Intelligence Service or the FBI and could be immediately placed in custodial detention, irrespective of whether they were alien or citizen. Another example, in the Southeast Asia area, were Japanese living in Malaya before World War II carrying out subversion and providing intelligence information, troops and war materiel. These Japanese immigrants, or first generation descendants of Japanese born in Malaya, were considered doho, or compatriots by Japanese traditions and law. Their allegiance to the Emperor and Japan was assumed by Japan's leaders. The doho in Malaya included the Japanese Editor of a local journal, a Japanese diplomat (arrested for espionage), thousands of Japanese prostitutes, businessmen, dentists, photographers and barbers. As with anything on the web, use this as a starting point for your own research....
