Tangai to Japan

         Most of our people who moved to the United States were single men that were farmers and farmer laborers. In which wanted to move to the U.S for a better life in which they can get money and have a new beginning. Many immigrated to Hawaii and others to the mainland. The rich were the ones who had the privileged to move to the mainland and the middle class and low class had to move to Hawaii. 

         People treated us unfairly, we were taken as custody as enemy aliens. After the war the impact was devastating because business had to be liquidated in a matter of weeks. So many of us were without jobs and the idea we had of the U.S were all false. We believed that this place was going to be filled with gold and the streets were made out of silver and gold. Everything was just a dream that was to good to be true. 

        We were discriminated for being Japanese. Many people of our surroundings treated us unfairly and were racist. As I mentioned earlier we ere treated as enemy aliens. All the effort that we did to arrive in the U.S for a better life was like a waste of time. We suffered and did hard work to become what we are today. The types of jobs we had were agricultural laborers and acquiring farms.  

          I learned that people who immigrated to the U.S had to do hard work to become someone there and have a job. Life wasn't easy and what the pictured the United States to be was all false. They began to know what life was really like there. They were discriminated and then treated offensively in which was unfair, for many Japanese.
