Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They were treated like criminals and forced to leave their homes and Businesses!. They were deported to prison camps in the desert and wilderness!. They even placed people with half, quarter, 1/18th, 1/16th Japanese heritages in the camps!.
After the war was over they were still subjected to prejudice by their former neighbors and Americans in general, to a point were some of them decided to go back to Japan!. Those who did stay in American did not get any compensation by the US government until 1988!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Come on, Sean!. All I can tell you is that the Japanese were subject to prejudice everywhere they went and were crammed into internment camps!. Sort of like "prison" camps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lots of asian Americans where locked into internment camps even though they did nothing wrong and where completely loyal to the US!. It is indeed a sad part of US history!.
