Pearl Congress
Who is responsible for Japanese-American Internment?
Who gave the president the idea to put Japanese-Americans into concentration camps during World War 2? I know the idea was pressured by Congress, but who originally came up with the idea of putting them into camps after Pearl Harbor?
CALIFORNIANS especially a future SUpreme Court Justice, Earl Warren.
What your teachers will not tell you is that the internment of Japanese Americans was rooted in GREED not Patriotism, thou RACISM did play a part. LIke other Americans, the Japanese came to America for the chance to make a better life not so much for themselves but for their children and future generations. Landing mostly in California, many of them took barren marginal soil and created profitable farms, others forged successful retail careers & similar businesses. Their wealth, modest though it was, angered ‘whites.’ As Attorney General of California, Earl Warren was well connected to the WHite Business Community whose business leaders suggested that by interning the Japanese-Americans their businesses & Farms could be seized and that is what happened.

“”Warren also upset liberals and supporters of human rights by the role he played in dealing with people of Japanese descent during the Second World War. Most of these people lived in California. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, these people were classified as enemy aliens. Warren, as attorney general, urged that these people should be interned.
On 29th January 1942, the U.S. Attorney General, Francis Biddle, established a number of security areas on the West Coast in California. He also announced that all enemy aliens should be removed from these security areas. Three weeks later President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the construction of relocation camps for Japanese Americans being moved from their homes.
Over the next few months ten permanent camps were constructed to house more than 110,000 Japanese Americans that had been removed from security areas. These people were deprived of their homes, their jobs and their constitutional and legal rights. Warren later confessed: “I have since deeply regretted the removal order and my own testimony advocating it, because it was not in keeping with our American concept of freedom and the rights of citizens. Whenever I thought of the innocent little children who were torn from home, school friends and congenial surroundings, I was conscience-stricken.”
Warren’s extreme views on internment was popular with most people in California and this enabled him to defeat Culbert Olsen as governor in 1943. He held the post for the next ten years. He was also selected as running-mate for Thomas Dewey in 1948. However, Dewey was defeated by Harry S. Truman in the election.
Warren hoped to become the Republican Party’s candidate in the 1952 presidential election. He lost out to Dwight D. Eisenhower who went on to become president. Warren was rewarded for his loyalty by being appointed by Eisenhower to the post of chief justice of Supreme Court.”"

“”"Internment was popular among many white farmers who resented the Japanese American farmers. “White American farmers admitted that their self-interest required removal of the Japanese.” These individuals saw internment as a convenient means of uprooting their Japanese American competitors. Explained one farmer on behalf of the Grower-Shipper Vegetable Association in the Saturday Evening Post: quotation
“It’s a question of whether the white man lives on the Pacific Coast or the brown man. They came into this valley to work, and they stayed to take over.”
Austin E. Anson, managing secretary of the Salinas Vegetable Grower-Shipper Association, told the “Saturday Evening Post” in 1942:
quotation
“We’re charged with wanting to get rid of the Japs for selfish reasons. We do. It’s a question of whether the white man lives on the Pacific Coast or the brown men… If all the Japs were removed tomorrow, we had never miss them in two weeks, because the white farmers can take over and produce everything the Jap grows. And we do not want them back when the war ends, either.” [ [http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=323&invol=214 "Korematsu v. United States"] dissent by Justice Frank Murphy, footnote 12, reproduced at findlaw.com, accessed 11 Sept. 2006] “”"
