“Actually, I’m sick of the excuse that it would be impossible to deport them all.”
Wilson deported millions after WW1 so returning vets could find jobs. Eisenhower tried to deport 12 million under “Operations Wetback” but they ended it early as voters couldn’t bear to see crying children and wailing women on the then new TV news. THAT is why it’s “impossible.”
Yes, the media doesn’t report the news anymore, it makes the news and engineers society. And the government is definitely involved.
