Others, perhaps you, have said that there was no sabotage by JAs, offering that as proof that the internment was unnecessary. I'm saying that is no proof at all, given that they were confined and thus prevented from such acts.

There was no need for confinement in Hawaii because the islands contained no war industry. Military facilities were under heightened guard and not vulnerable. In short, there were no viable targets at risk. If there had been, the JAs no doubt would have been confined.

10,000 German-Americans were interned or imprisoned in the U.S.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the internment did not violate the Constitution. Probably on the ground that there WAS due process.

Hey, what can I tell you? S**t happens. People should get over it. We needed to win a war.
