Janpanese internment

I read another website on Japanese internment called "Japanese-American Internment Camps". The article talks about the evacuation of the Japanese in American and how they put them into internment camps. One thing that stuck out to me as i was reading was this quote, "What is extremely interesting is that the Nisei and Issei living in Hawaii were not subject to a mass evacuation even though they formed a third of the population in Hawaii and were a lot closer to Japan than the Japanese-Americans on the West Coast of the U.S.", to me its amazing how only certain areas of the US had to evacuate while areas that could potentially be more harmful like Hawaii cause of the attacks at pearl harbor were not evacuated. Many Japanese-Americans were not to blame but all of them were punished. Since things like internment camps have happened in the past its very likely that they could happen again, we just need to do something to prevent history from repeating itself.
