Blame the military leaders who set Japan's foreign policy. Fuchida was a soldier & spent alot of time and energy reaching out to his old enemy after the war. By all accounts he was a decent man.

Besides, at least one of his kids moved to the states. I suspect this had something to do with his becoming a citizen.

But your are correct - our immigration policy today is totally insane.

That's absolutely correct. Isoroku Yamamoto, who planned and let the Pearl Harbor attack, studied 3 years at Harvard and knew America well. He begged the Japanese High Command to leave us alone. He was overruled and ordered to attack, which he reluctantly did. He was not proud of attacking a "sleeping giant".
