How many Japanese or Germans immigrated into the US during WWII? --- In 1988, President Ronald Reagan <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan> signed into law the Civil Liberties Act <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Liberties_Act_of_1988>, which apologized for the internment on behalf of theU.S. government <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States> and authorized a payment of $20,000 to each individual camp survivor. The legislation admitted that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership."[17] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans#cite_note-17> The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion in reparations to 82,219 Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/heir>.[16] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans#cite_note-CLA1988-Yamato-16> [18] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans#cite_note-democracynow-18>
