Question

What were the main fear aroused among Japanese Americans by the internment?

Answer 1

Yes loss of property/money was a fear but many more feared being deported - - - despite the injustice of interment the majority of Japanese-Americans felt that they were Americans even those who had immigrated to America, they had put down roots in America and though proud of their heritage they did not want to be hauled back to Japan.  This is one of those 'curious' phenomenon mirrored in the current argument over 'Hispanics,' despite anger & hostility directed at a particular group, that group still wants to be 'America' even when 'Americans' are torching their homes & subjecting them to verbal & physical abuse.

As for those 'Japanese'-Americans born on American Soil, they especially feared being deported - - - they felt that by being born on American Soil that they were American first and Japanese by heritage and many of them did not speak Japanese and feared being deported what was, to them, a foreign land.

Answer 2

That they would lose everything they had worked for. And their fears were well grounded. In compensation, they got something like ten cents on the dollar, if they were lucky. Their homes and land were never returned to them.
