sorry i meant ww2

Answer 1

Never do it again. I mean it's already 60 years after the fact.

Answer 2

Internment of axis power nationals didn't disrupt that many lives. It happened in most allied countries during WW2 as some security measures were necessary for a short time. Nowadays, we have more technologically-based surveillance, which in many ways is more sinister.
Japan was not directly involved in WW1.

Answer 3

First, it was WWII, not WWI.

Second, the governmet addressed this terrible mistake already.
Congress enacted the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 to make the U.S. credible in the eyes of the world on human rights issues. To accomplish this, the Act provided for an official apology and token reparations of $20,000 to eligible individuals of Japanese ancestry. It also created a fund to educate the public about the internment to prevent the recurrence of similar events.
