Why Did The Japanese Internment Camps During World War 2

The Japanese Internment camps were a way for our government to make us feel safe during World War 2. The reason as to why they locked up Japanese Americans was because during World War 2, Japanese were the enemies and the U.S. predicted that there would be spies in the U.S. that could give away valuable information, such as the routine of naval ships. To avoid any type of spies, the U.S put anyone of Japanese ancestry into some camps. Some of the public were skeptical about how they were being locked up, but some agreed with it, and the government made videos saying how all the Japanese Americans were safe. I believe that it was wrong for the American government to lock up Japanese Americans. My first reason as to why it was wrong for the government to lock up people of Japanese descent
We know this because it is entirely impossible for all the Japanese people to have been spies, or bad in anyway. When the government locked them up, they admitted they “estimated” that there would be at least one spie, but there wouldn’t be any guarantees. This means that most, if not all, were innocent. Another is that most, if not all, were american citizens. If they were american citizens, it would be hard for the Japanese government to take the children, take them as spies, then have them report to them when they were children. Lastly, the government lied to the people because they said that they knew there were spies, but they still had no guarantee. The government may have said that they caught a few, but then again they could’ve been just lying again. In the document Home was a Horse Stall, it says how, “...all persons of Japanese ancestry, both alien and non-alien will be excluded from the west coast.” This quote means that they purposely tried to get Japanese, and this shows how it didn’t matter if they were spies or
