 In time of war, it is normal and accepted practice to imprison or confine citizens of an enemy country who reside in the opposing country. The Japanese Internment of World War II went far beyond these reasonable bounds. During World War II, all people of Japanese descent living on the west coast of the continental United States ''including American citizens'' were stripped of property and most belongings and sent into imprisonment at remote locations in the West.
