D. The Japanese in WW2 weren't very threatening here in the US but better safe then sorry and keep them away :P

It was a mistake, but it was done as a part of the early war hyteria of WWII in the fear that the
 Japanese Americans might have a stronger Loyalty to their ancestery then to their adopted nation.
 The president ordered this, and it was called order 9066. It was government orders, so it was
 perfectly legal at the time.

But I didn't think they protested, and was only done because of their nationality and the possibility of them turning on America...

Like I said last time, I didn't think it was done because the Japs protested but so the government can be sure to be safe from their own citizens
