This article comprises of literature reviews of other authors who find this to be factual. Emiko Hastings the writer of this article his grandmother was subjected to the imprisonment in Arizona.

President Roosevelt ordered the formation of military camps in 1942 and all the foreigners who were considered to be enemies were to be taken to these camps. Although about two thirds of the Japanese were American Citizens they were still taken to the camps. This was viewed as racial discrimination to the Japanese. Powerfully lobby group were formed to reverse the imprisonment in 1970 but it was until in 1980 when some efforts were made to readdress this injustices.

This article shows that it was through restriction to access of documentation that these injustices were advanced. The Japanese American were restricted on their movement and many imprisoned even though studies show that they were not a threat to the Nation.

Economical the American Japanese lost a lot of properties during their imprisonment, a close to $400 million was lost and they were only compensated $37 million. This led to the formation of various lobby groups to address this. One of the main lobby group formed was the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL). The Japanese lobby groups have bare fruits in 1988 they successfully pushed for the formation of the national reconciliation bill. The surviving detainees were paid$20000 each and in 1990 presidents Bush wrote an apology letter to them.

The discrimination did not end with the Japanese but other races were affected too.  Asian Americans were discriminated this was in an effort to protect the Causians Americans from losing their economic advantage. Discriminately laws were formed at various times and the one which restricted the Japanese American being the worse which did not recognized them as American Citizens.
