Because after Pearl harbor the U.S was a little afraid that one of the jap Americans could be a spy or working for another country
The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour and the USA then set up internment camps for any Japanese living in the USA. The Japanese were put into internment camps as they were considered a threat to the country. Here in the UK they did the same thing with Italians and Germans living in the UK.
Fearing that Japanese living in the United States would help Japan, the government gathered up almost 120,000 Japanese-Americans and resident Japanese aliens and placed them in internment camps. Some people remained in the camps for over three years.
Pearl Harbor!
the government decided to put Japanese Americans into internment camps, even if they were born here because they were unsure if they were spies or otherwise loyal to their home country. sometimes men would be released if they agreed to serve with the U.S. army.
They captured the Japanese German and put in their camp.

The Japanese Americans that were put in internment camps faced the racism of whites. They were afraid of the hatred of those around them that made threats.
There were many reasons why someone was moved into an internment camp during World War 2. In the US, some Japanese people were put into camps because of their descent. In Germany, many Jews, homosexuals, gypsy, and political enemies were put in camps for no reason.

the Japanese Americans.
The U.S. government put all Japanese-Americans in internment camps. They weren't treated well at all. Some internment camps housed these people in old horse stalls!!!!
The USA was worried about the Japanese-Americans on the coast supplying Japanese with information and helping the Japanese attack the USA in any way. So the USA put the Japanese-Americans in internment camps.
The racist Americans of the 1940s realized they could not put all the Italians and Germans into internment camps to weed out spies. They would have had to put half of New York City citizens into internment camps. There were millions of them in the US at that time as there are now too. There were not as many Japanese so they put them into the camps illlegally.
Pearl Harbor!
FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) signed a executive order that would put the Japanese Americans (most were loyal to the US, actually) in the internment camps.
Japanese Americans and Canadians were put interned due to fears by the government that they would spy for their homeland.
Soon after the US went to war with Japan, President Roosevelt issued an executive order to round up Japanese in the US , including Japanese American citizens and put them into internment camps. I do not think they had to do any walking, but in Canada, which also interred Japanese, some of them may have had to walk to a camp or work on road crews.
