I was an American citizen, and I had as many rights as anyone else.

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.

During the curfew, whoever went out, the people were watching you. Any Japanese home, there was some person figuring he's a good American citizen by doing his duty, and they were watching every move each family were doin'. Or if they went out, they followed them to see where they were goin'.

I am proud to be an American Citizen.

An American citizen is not going to be extradited to Japan for saving whales.
