So many people here and abroad were isolated by governments who assumed the worst. No individualized assessment, no questions about why they are here instead of there and little to no consideration of how the effects of the decision may affect the future. The solution for the people in charge at the time essentially amounted to; “if they look like this and have a record saying where their mother was when she birthed them, straight to jail.”
Perspective:
The governments who did this were signatories of agreements that explicitly banned collective punishment for enemy soldiers. But since those were simply civilians in an area you control, that didn’t apply! So there were aspects of civilized behaviour that an Imperial Japanese soldier could be afforded that a second generation Japanese civilian simply wasn’t.

40+ years later a small token amount of compensation was offered.
