I am under the impression that most of the concentration camps used on U.S. citizens of Japanese descent during WWII are still in existence and can still be used for similar purposes if the President declares a state of emergency and for the McCarren (sp?) act to be in effect. Does anyone have more information on this?

During the late 60's and early 70's there were rumours that Nixon would use the camps for internment of war protestors and other undesirable long hair types. Having talked to friends of my father who were actually in the camps, I find it quite amazing how close we came to exterminating Americans of Japanese descent. I wonder what would have happened if the Japanese had successfully landed troops on the West coast. Larry Welsch houxj!welsch
