Re:Internment of Japanese Americans in Confinement Campus during World War II
World War II has been the deadliest of battles to be fought since the beginning of humanity on earth. The most critical event that dragged the USA into World War II was the attack carried out by Imperial Japan on Pearl Harbor – A US Port located near Hawaii Islands in 1941 (Brody, 2017).
Consequently, it was although a right action was taken by you Mr. President to take revenge from Imperial Japan to avenge the loss of Americans. However, it was injustice and absolute brutality in violation of American Civil Rights when you signed Executive Order 9066 (Costa, 2015). The revenge should have been taken from Imperial Japan only and not from Americans of Japanese descent. It was not their fault that they were indigenous to Japan; they were Americans Mr. President. They held the same rights as any other American citizen. Therefore, they should not have been treated like the rulers of Japan.
In a very similar way, the American Muslims have been tortured and executed after 9/11 (Lichtblau, 2016). As an American, I honestly feel that the US government should punish the bombers of the World Trade Center and their supporters. However, it is an absolute violation of human rights which the USA claims to protect in the best possible manner. Parallel to the scenario of Japanese Americans, the American Muslims also hold the same rights just like any other American do. The government has an important role to play in this regard, Mr. President. Your decisions will seep into the mindset of the American people, and they will treat minorities in the same manner as their President treats them.
Therefore Mr. President, no matter whatever is the race, religion or color is of an individual; as long as the person is an American citizen, s/he should be loved, respected and valued in the American society like any other resident of the United States of America.
