Among those who were interned were old men and women who worked in the fields of California. and with their hard labor made barren lands productive. lands that many would lose as a result of the internment. These were not unscrupulous agents of a foreign power. these were business people who had worked to build up small businesses and to be full members of their communities. These were not recent immigrants of uncertain loyalty. Most of those interned were born in this country and were proud citizens from birth. It is impossible to debate appropriate remedies for something as indefensible as the internment without first understanding the total tragedy of our Governments policies. the needless injustice that the internment represented.
