HUH!!!!!!!!!!! BS

My secretary graduated high school at Manzanar and her husband was at Tule Lake. neither family connected to anyone. Second generation Americans.

When the J-As were taken from Florin by Sacramento they were mostly farmers. They were given 24 hours to grab a suitcase.

At the Smithsonian they had an exhibit of the interment camps with a photo of the Florin reunion from the 30s. My secretary is in that photo. It was a panoramic crowd shot of them all standing out in the field. She had that photo on her desktop at work.

When they got reparations, her family got $20-30,000 each; her, her husband and her mother who was still alive. Their land was valued at $1.1 million at the time, but not theirs since the day they were sent away.

If you think they were interred for their connections or some other nefarious reason, you don’t know what the hell you’re taking about.

That was all too typical. A few of the older Japanese supported Japan but very few of the American born did. We had a neighbor who served in the 442nd. His parents lost everything.

What obviously concerns me is just who the progressives would inter. I’d expect a few high profile arrests for “treason”. Cruz, Lee, Limbaugh. Then when there were a number of protests, agents of the government would provoke violence and there you go. In rounding up the guns, a lot of deaths. JMO
