ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's call for mass deportation of millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, as well as their American-born children, bears similarities to a large-scale removal that many Mexican-American families faced 85 years ago.
During the Great Depression, counties and cities in the American Southwest and Midwest forced Mexican immigrants and their families to leave the U.S. over concerns they were taking jobs away from whites despite their legal right to stay.
The result: Around 500,000 to 1 million Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans were pushed out of the country during the 1930s repatriation, as the removal is sometimes called....

crank up the buses!!!!!!!!!!!
If you rigidly enforce employer criminal penalties, stop entitlements of any fashion for illegals, don’t register their children for school, don’t give them tax IDs (TINs), SSANs, drivers licenses, let them wire money out of the country without valid citizen ID, own property, vehicles or any of that, they will go home.
Snidely Trumplash is at it again
Despite their legal right to stay? Does he defend or explain that?
“If you rigidly enforce employer criminal penalties, stop entitlements of any fashion for illegals, don’t register their children for school, don’t give them tax IDs (TINs), SSANs, drivers licenses, let them wire money out of the country without valid citizen ID, own property, vehicles or any of that, they will go home.”
I think you’ve got it! Gaffer for president!
Imagine having to go back to Mexico!
Why the place is one big concentration camp!
Oh, wait.....
We had to do it again in the 1950’s, Operation Wetback. Ike deported many and even more left on their own. We can and need to do it again.
Notice there are no comments allowed.
“About 60 percent of those who left were American citizens, according to various studies on the 1930s repatriation.”
Trump, or no one else, has called for the deportation of American citizens. The writer is a liar.
So?
And you don’t have to give people who walk across the border a deportation hearing. This is a complete myth. Hearings are for people with papers, i.e. legal standing. All that it is needed is a president with the guts to call aliens without documentation what they are- invaders. One step away from enemy combatants, but easily within a president’s ability to remove from the country.
First post nailed it...
They HAVE no legal right to stay. They came here illegally, and they remain here in violation of our laws. THEY are the criminals, not the people who want them deported.
Shhhh. Surely, you know that calling Wetbacks, Wetbacks is offensive. I know because a Wetback told me so.
Clever use of ‘whites’, like there were no other ‘colors’ of legal Americans in America at the time.
Ike knew how to do it......the good old days.
Operation Wetback (1954): Implementation and tactics[edit]
Operation Wetback was a system of tactical control and cooperation within the U.S. Border Patrol and alongside the Mexican government.[30] Planning between the INS led by Gen. Joseph Swing and the Mexican government began in early 1954 while the program was formally announced in May 1954.[31] On May 17th, 1954 command teams of 12 Border Patrol agents, buses, planes, and temporary processing stations began locating, processing, and deporting Mexicans that had illegally entered the United States. 750 immigration and border patrol officers and investigators, 300 jeeps, cars and buses, and 7 airplanes were allocated for the operation.[32] Teams were focused on quick processing and deportation, as planes were able to coordinate ground efforts more quickly and increase mobility.[33] Those deported were handed off to Mexican officials, who in turn deported them into central Mexico where there were many labor opportunities.[34] While the operation would include the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago, its main targets were border areas in Texas and California.[35] Overall, there were 1,078,168 apprehensions made in the first year of Operation Wetback, with 170,000 being captured from May to July 1954.[36] The total number of apprehensions would fall to just 242,608 in 1955, and would continuously decline by year until 1962, when there was a slight rise in apprehended workers.[37] During the entirety of the Operation, border recruitment of illegal workers by American growers continued due largely to the inexpensiveness of illegal labor and the desire of growers to avoid the bureaucratic obstacles of the Bracero program; the continuation of illegal immigration despite the efforts of Operation Wetback was largely responsible for the failure of the program.[38] Despite the decline in apprehensions, the total number of Border Patrol agents more than doubled to 1,692 by 1962, and an additional plane was also added to the force.[39] In terms of apprehensions, Operation Wetback was immediately successful. However, this success would be short lived, as the program would fail to limit the number of workers entering the United States from Mexico illegally.[40] The program would also result in a more permanent, strategic border control presence along the Mexico-United States border.[
Yellow journalism at its finest.
Sounds like a plan to me. And we are going to have to get rid of all these muzzies the head Muzz has let in over the past 7 years too.
That’s it. And we wouldn’t need to build any walls or fences.
