Some Americans were already upset at the Japanese because they felt that they were taking their jobs. After the bombing in Pearl Harbor, the suspicion escalated to a level that sent around 120,000 people of Japanese descent to internment camps. The government was claimed that there was a danger that people of Japanese descent might be spying for the Japanese. Still, more than two thirds of the people interned were American citizens and half of them were children. Some family members were separated and sent to different camps. None had had showed any reason for disloyalty. Most of these camps were in isolated places in Arizona and Utah.
