They had absolutely no way of knowing that at the time.

We in the UK did the exact same thing to Germans and Italians and encamped them on the Isle of Man. It was based on nationality, not race. The logic is perfectly sound and any nation - even now - would do the exact same thing again.

The issue with the Japanese camps was them persisting when it was clear no threat existed, especially after Midway.

If you can't make the distinction and you're solely going on hindsight, I can't help you. But I maintain that the USA would have been utterly mental not to take that action at that time, for around 3 to 6 months.

This will be my only comment on the subject. I keep reading about hindsight. Roosevelt commissioned 2 separate reports (submitted Nov 1941, Feb 1942) on Japanese-Americans. Both found no cause to question their loyalty to the United States. In fact, the FBI and Office of National Intelligence found an extraordinary loyalty among this ethnic group and that a "Japanese problem" did not exist.

Less than 1% of the Japanese-Americans in Hawaii were interred because business in Hawaii would have been decimated given about 30% of the entire population of the state would have been in camps. There were even times here on the mainland where interred Japanese-Americans were released from camps in order to work the agricultural fields.

It doesn't take hindsight to recognize the policy was wrong. It took political will and leadership that crumbled in the face of public sentiment that rapidly changed based on irrational fear-mongering. Roosevelt did quite a lot of good during his presidency. He and his administration failed in this respect.

I had this conversation with a guy who is a complete right wing nut job. It was like a punch to the gut. Also mentioning that farmers have been enjoying socialism for months was equally eye opening.

So you’ll take this free money but you don’t want anyone to get free healthcare?

Good to see someone making hay, they reckon about 20 million are out of work over there and that number is going to shoot up. Hopefully the host of the Apprentice is able to get a handle on it
