Breaking: Obama Makes WW2 Japanese Internment Camp National Monument In Attempt To Vilify America

[reconmark]

I guess not locking up the Germans was what? A color thing? A race thing?

No, it was more like not locking up about 35% of our armed forces that died at places like Normandy, Belgium, Italy, Germany, north Africa, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Tarawa.

More stupidity pourith from your mouth...
Do you have any idea how many Japanese war heroes fought and died in the second world war while dealing with he racism of whites they fought beside????

These NEED to be seen and remembered. The Japanese concentration camps are a dark, very dark stain on the American ideals.

I disagree. The Japs had to be put in them. We couldn't afford to take chances of having them roam freely after Pearl was sneak attacked.

I guess not locking up the Germans was what? A color thing? A race thing?

Not only weren't the German's imprisons, they outwardly formed American "third Reich" parties and organizations supporting Hitler...

Which Germans are you talking about? The POW's or the Germans that were kidnapped from the farms and industrial sites in central and South America?

 

[percysunshine]

Don't worry. Next time the repugs are in charge, they can make an Abu Ghraib theme park or make Gitmo a nat'l monument. That would celebrate repug values.

They will probably just settle for a statue of Joe Biden with panties on his head.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I wish America just banned islam. What a evil religion that is the opposite of everything our civilization stands for. Japan has done good these past 60 years...I respect them, but at the time we needed to make sure they didn't get a foot hold on our country.

Beginning in 1944, the regiment fought primarily in Europe during World War II,[2] in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany. The 442nd is "the most decorated unit in U.S. military history."[3] It was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations and twenty-one of its members were awarded the Medal of Honor for World War II.[4] Its motto was "Go for Broke".

German interment camps existed in both WWI and WWII. Italians as well.

German Nationals were temporarily detained...a total opposite of the treatment of the Japanese:

At the time of WWII, the United States had a large population of ethnic Germans. In 1940 more than 1.2 million persons had been born in Germany, 5 million had two native-German parents, and 6 million has one native-German parent. Many more had distant German ancestry. During WWII, the United States detained a total of 11,507 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals. The government examined the cases of German nationals individually, and detained relatively few in internment camps run by the Department of Justice, as related to its responsibilities under the Alien and Sedition Law. To a much lesser extent, some ethnic German US citizens were classified as suspect after due process and also detained. Similarly, a small proportion of Italian nationals and Italian Americans were interned in relation to their total population in the US. The United States had allowed immigrants from both Germany and Italy to become naturalized citizens, which many had done by then. In the early 21st century, Congress considered legislation to study treatment of European Americans during WWII, but it did not pass the House. Activists have identified certain injustices against these groups.

Japan was another enemy Axis power in WWII. After its attack on Pearl Harbor, the War Department gained an Executive Order to declare the length of the West Coast an Exclusion Zone for suspect persons because of wartime exigencies. The War Department excluded virtually all Japanese Americans from this area, both citizens and resident aliens. In the case of Japanese immigrants, the US had prohibited their becoming citizens, regardless of their length of residence in the US. Their children born in the US were automatically citizens. Citizens made up two-thirds of the estimated 120,000 Japanese American who were forcibly relocated from the West Coast and incarcerated for years during the war in camps in the interior of the country, causing many to lose their homes and livelihoods. Although Japanese Americans made up more than one-third of the population of Hawaii, fewer than 2,000 were detained in internment camps. The US Congress passed legislation in 1988 and 1992 to apologize to Japanese-American survivors of the camps and pay them compensation for losses and injustice.

Selective Internment:

Pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (50 USC 21-24), which remains in effect today, the US may apprehend, intern and otherwise restrict the freedom of "alien enemies" upon declaration of war or actual, attempted or threatened invasion by a foreign nation. During World War II, the US Government interned at least 11,000 persons of German ancestry. By law, only "enemy aliens" could be interned. However, with governmental approval, their family members frequently joined them in the camps. Many such "voluntarily" interned spouses and children were American citizens. Internment was frequently based upon uncorroborated, hearsay evidence gathered by the FBI and other intelligence agencies. Homes were raided and many ransacked. Fathers, mothers and sometimes both were arrested and disappeared. Sometimes children left after the arrests had to fend for themselves. Some were placed in orphanages. Read More Real Stories.

The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) instituted very limited due process protections for those arrested. Potential internees were held in custody for weeks in temporary detention centers, such as jails and hospitals, prior to their hearings. Frequently, their families had no idea where they were for weeks. The hearings took place before DOJ-constituted civilian hearing boards. Those arrested were subject to hostile questioning by the local prosecuting US Attorney, who was assisted by the investigating FBI agents. The intimidated, frequently semi-fluent accused had no right to counsel, could not contest the proceedings or question their accusers. Hearing board recommendations were forwarded to the DOJ’s Alien Enemy Control Unit (“AECU”) for a final determination that could take weeks or months.

Internees remained in custody nervously awaiting DOJ's order--unconditional release, parole or internment. Policy dictated that the AECU resolve what it deemed to be questionable hearing board recommendations in favor of internment. Based on AECU recommendations, the Attorney General issued internment orders for the duration of the war. Internees were shipped off to distant camps. Families were torn apart and lives disrupted, many irreparably. Family members left at home were shunned due to fear of the FBI and spite. Newspapers published stories and incriminating lists. Eventually destitute, many families lost their homes and had to apply to the government to join spouses in family camps, apply for welfare and/or rely on other family members who could afford to support them. Eventually, under such duress, hundreds of internees agreed to repatriate to war-torn Germany to be exchanged with their children for Americans. Once there, food was scarce, Allied bombs were falling and their German families could do little to help them. Many regretted their decision. Considering the spurious allegations, which led to the internment of a majority of internees, their treatment by our government was harsh indeed. Their experience provides ample evidence of why our civil liberties are so precious.
Exclusion:
In cooperation with the War Department, pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act, DOJ created a network of prohibited zones and restricted areas. Enemy aliens were forbidden to enter or remain in certain areas and their movements severely restricted in others. The restrictions imposed great hardship on those living or working in these areas. Pursuant to Presidential Executive Order 9066, the military could restrict the liberties of citizens and aliens, as it deemed necessary. This led to the exclusion of individuals and groups from extensive "military zones" comprising over a third of the US. The most well known group exclusion was the massive relocation US citizens and aliens of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast and their subsequent incarceration overseen by the War Relocation Authority. Several hundred individual exclusion orders were issued.
The government was particularly suspicious of naturalized citizens of enemy ethnicity. Citizens could not be interned, so the military threatened those it deemed dangerous with exclusion. Many felt contesting exclusion orders was futile and moved before an order was actually issued. Unlike West Coast Japanese group exclusion pursuant to Executive Order 9066, hearings were required for individual exclusions. Resembling enemy alien internment hearings, these hearings were subject to very limited due process protections, clearly violating the rights of American citizens. If an exclusion order was issued following a hearing, excludees were given little time to depart. Homes were abandoned. Some excludees left their families behind. FBI agents followed them to their new communities. The government often advised police and employers how "dangerous" excludees were, so finding and keeping jobs was difficult. Little or government resettlement assistance was given to excludees. Some contested their exclusion orders in court, protesting the government's violation of their due process rights. After several federal courts found the military's actions of questionable constitutionality, the individual exclusion program decreased in popularity. Although more unusual, in lieu of exclusion the government also sought to denaturalize citizens, so they could be interned as enemy aliens or deported.

No, it was more like not locking up about 35% of our armed forces that died at places like Normandy, Belgium, Italy, Germany, north Africa, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Tarawa.

They weren't "Japanese" Internment camps. The American Internment camps and are a dreadful stain on our history. Deal with it. We shouldn't forget what we did and what we are capable of doing to our own citizens.

Well lets be clear -- its something the Democrats did. This was FDR's stain. Lets not lose site of that

Almost unanimously supported by Republicans at the time.

It was a democrat who made the final decision.
