In the [[United States]], [[Anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States|anti-Japanese sentiment]] had its beginnings long before [[World War II]]. As early as the late 19th century, Asian immigrants were subjected to racial prejudice in the United States. Laws were passed which openly discriminated against Asians and sometimes, they particularly discriminated against Japanese. Many of these laws stated that Asians could not become US citizens and they also stated that Asians could not be granted basic rights such as the right to own land. These laws were greatly detrimental to the newly-arrived immigrants because they denied them the right to own land and forced many of them who were farmers to become migrant workers. Some cite the formation of the [[Asiatic Exclusion League]] as the start of the anti-Japanese movement in California.
