They could sell it, or lend it, or lease it, or leave it alone. They
did have choices. Americans who were drafted into the army
would have had similar choices.

I think that there was a govt agency that would sell or manage the
properties for them. The Japanese would get the proceeds. I don't
know the details -- I am not an expert on this.

The point is that the land was not "confiscated". There is a lot of
misinformation in this thread.

It is just ignorant America bashing. Get the facts, and take them
to a forum that addresses such issues.
