LIfe was much simpler in World War II when America's "Greatest Generation"
was able to decide that since they couldn't tell a good Japanese-American
from an invading Japanese insurgent -- they would just round anyone up who
looked Japanese and worry about offending them later --when the war was
over.  In another time Americans would have just told the Hispanics in
California and Texas that since at least half of them were illegal aliens --
 and since the legal ones were not going to cooperate in identifying the
illegal ones -- then all of them would be considered fair game for
deportation.  (Which is what happened in the '50s when Eisenhour deported
millions of illegals).   Those who worked in the fields picking crops would
be given favorable treatment with special identification allowing them to
work and remain in this country.  Those in meat packing plants might be
given "guest worker" priveleges -- but urban dwellers would be fair game for
deportation.
