Japanese Americans lost up to $370 million to wartime exclusion

Evidence

A study performed for the commission estimated that Japanese Americans lost between 108 million and 164 million (in 1945 dollars) in income and between 41 million and 206 million in property as a result of their “exclusion,” which does not include property that was compensated for as a part of the Japanese American Evacuation Claims Act. — Dorothy A.
