Japanese in New York weren't arrested. The real Japanese espionage center was in Hawaii but Japanese were not incarcerated in Hawaii. Did college Americans ever learn what the convoluted FDR violation of the Constitution actually intended to do. ....your turn"only the Japanese who had lucrative real estate holdings in California were locked up and forced to give up their property" is pop history.
The others are taught in school and college.
I have always said- that if you can't find something about any President to praise- or to criticize- you aren't looking at the President objectively.
FDR was a great war time President- and accomplished amazing things.
But he should also always be remembered for his gross violation of the Constitution when it came to the Japanese on the West Coast- and less we forget that was an action which was praised throughout the United States- and was hugely popular.
Japanese internment is something we should never forget because it shows how easily Americans can turn on a minority and ignore the Constitution.
I don't think George Bush was a good President- but I will always praise him for how he addressed Americans and took steps to prevent that kind of overreaction towards American Muslims.
