James was in collaboration with the men and women to bring jobs to the town. They had a job fair to bring in companies that would give people work. I made edits to the Japanese Internment in America page. With mostly stating how they were discriminated based on racial reasons and striped of there citizenship. It was important to note that it was a few generals that pushed this notion. I also deleted a repeated source on the page as well.

Edits:

“These American citizens and longtime residents some 112,000 men, women, and children were packed into military holding centers for several weeks or months and then transported under armed guard to the interior of the country"

"Generals had mass focus of the policy was racial because they viewed that a "Jap was a Jap" no matter what the citizenship they have".

"The system the Army used ethicized this point with anything above 1/16th of Japanese's blood makes it accessible to imprison that population".

Deleted duplicated source A tragedy of democracy, Robinson. Deleted inaccurate information: Praising the decision by the government for there part.

Final edits:

"On March 29, 1942, under the authority of the executive order, DeWitt issued Public Proclamation No. 4, which began the forced evacuation and detention of Japanese-American West Coast residents on a 48-hour notice".

"John J. McCloy, the assistant secretary of war, remarked that if it came to a choice between national security and the guarantee of civil liberties expressed in the Constitution, he considered the Constitution “just a scrap of paper.”

"Over 1,000 incarcerated Japanese Americans were sent to other states to do seasonal farm work. Over 4,000 of the incarcerated population were allowed to leave to attend college."

"Virtually all Japanese Americans were forced to leave their homes and property and live in camps for most of the war. The government cited national security as justification for this policy although it violated many of the most essential constitutional rights of Japanese Americans."

"Throughout the war, interned Japanese Americans protested against their treatment and insisted that they be recognized as loyal Americans. Many sought to demonstrate their patriotism by trying to enlist in the armed forces. Although early in the war Japanese Americans were barred from military service, by 1943 the army had begun actively recruiting Nisei to join new all-Japanese American units."
