"Operation Wetback"

In 1954 Dwight D. Eisenhower was president and Richard M. Nixon was Vice President.

Operation Wetback was an immigration law enforcement initiative created by Joseph Swing, Director of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now known as ICE).

The program was implemented in May of 1954 by the U.S. Attorney General , and utilized special tactics to combat the problem of illegal border crossing and residence in the United States by Mexican nationals.

The impetus for the program was pressure from the Mexican government to stop illegal entry of Mexican Laborers in the United States based largely on the Bracero Program then in existence.

First build the fence and then start rounding them up as they go to apply for welfare.

“We cant send them all back”

Of all the arguments for amnesty, this is the most idiotic. We can't possibly catch all thieves either, does this mean we should give them all amnesty too?

Amnesty advocates know that this is a specious argument. Mitt Romney knew it when he made it in 2007, because in 2012 he advocated the perfect solution: you don't have to round any of them up. Just deny them social services (which they are not entitled to by law), and most of them will leave on their own. Great idea, if only Romney was sincere and believed it.

Why do we have to find a path to citizenship? We have laws on the numbers of legals who can get on the path to citizenship.

What is wrong with green card work visas and go home when it ends? Why are we obligated to give citizenship because they want it (many don't--they just want freebies)? We aren't! We cannot afford to give it.

The language has been turned to equate following the laws for immigration with racism--How I hate that word and its over usage. "Racism" is to Dems/libs as "Waah is to a child who doesn't get it's way.

Just cut it out; don't give in to it. Send the kid to its room.
