I may have mentioned this before, but my father-in-law says when he was a young man living in Morelos, Mexico (30 mi from the border) that the US Government asked Mexico to relocate any Japanese living in Mexico to at least 500 mi from the border. There was a Japanese family living in Morelos
and they were moved. He knows not where. They did see one of the sons after the war when he returned to sell the house.
