I lost everything when they put us in prison. I was an enemy alien, a man without a country.

I was really upset because I was branded as an enemy alien when I'm an American.

I still remember, 40 years ago, when I was shackled and put in prison... Being an American citizen didn't mean a thing.

As long as my record stands in federal court, any American citizen can be held in prison or concentration camps without a trial or a hearing.

That was it - I lost my job... I was very discouraged. I wanted to be in defense work... I'm an American, and I have nothin' to do with Japan, and so it's sort of an insult to me.

I was very upset because I did not have a fair trial to prove my loyalty to this country.
