FDR and Bush 43

From:

Bear in mind who was making the arrests: the FBI
under J. Edgar "like my dress?" Hoover.

To be fair to J. Edgar, he insisted that the majority of Issei, Nisei and Kibei
would prove to be loyal in the fight with Japan. If there were spies and
sabateurs among them, the FBI could ferret them out through normal
investigations.
The biggest advocates of the mass round-up of Japanese was Earl Warren, then
California state attorney general who went around making inflamatory speeches
charging that the Japanese residents of California were a nest of saboteurs
and traitors. He used the hysteria he whipped up to ride into the governorship
in the 1942 election.

Yes, this appears to be the case. It's told in Persico's Roosevelt's
Secret War, a sober and interesting book..

Kibei? Issei is first generation, Nisei is second generation, but the last time
I looked, Ki was not a number anywhere in the first ten (ichi, ni, san, shi, go,
roku, shichi, hachi, ku, ju), so what does Kibei mean?

what does Kibei mean?

Kibei were Japanese born in the US but who went to Japan for their education,
then returned to the US.

Thank you. I guess that makes them Japanese educated Nisei or perhaps Sansei.
