How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico
By John Dillin JULY 6, 2006
Save for later WASHINGTON — George W. Bush isn't the first Republican president to face a full-blown immigration crisis on the US-Mexican border. Fifty-three years ago, when newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America's southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond. President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents – less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.

They’re cowards, all the way around. They fear the opinions of men more than they fear the God to whom they swore their sacred oath of office.
BTTT. The best post of the day.
E-Verify should handle what you believe is that problem. Fake IDs don’t work with that.
I disagree. You already have to have taxes reported. Have you kept the government from your information, despite this?
I didn’t think so. Your argument is completely lame.
Well, I for one want the income tax which empowers such government intrusion gone.
How about you?
Seriously, I don’t think you’ve thought this through.
You really want a government that is so powerful that they get to decide whether you can work and earn your daily bread?
If not, then you have been operating just fine with the equivalent of E-Verify.
bttt
Again, do you want to get rid of the abusive, intrusive, anti-privacy, anti-liberty IRS, or not?
Of course, but I also want to get rid of all illegals.
Apparently, you don’t, Jeb.
Call personally confirm this is accurate.
Put the onus on the illegals, and on the employers, not on innocent American citizens.
Don’t use the failure of our leaders to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws as an excuse to grant the federal government practically unlimited powers over the American people, and to strip us our most important liberties.
Should have pinged you to post #91. :)
So, how do you put the onus on illegals and employers without an ability to confirm they are legitimate? That’s what we have today without E-Verify.
Call = can.
I've been fighting the fight against illegal immigration for several decades, quite actively.
So your insult is simply ignorant.
So here's the score:
You're against illegal immigration.
I'm against illegal immigration.
You're for giving the federal government powers that are not enumerated in the Constitution, powers that if abused can even control whether or not Americans can work and earn their daily bread.
I'm not for that.
The first thing is, most employers know damned well when they are hiring illegal aliens.
The second thing is, if they are hiring illegal aliens they are breaking the law.
Our justice system is just going to have to handle such law-breaking the way they handle all other lawbreaking: follow the Constitution. If they have probable cause, investigate. If they obtain evidence that the law has been broken, prosecute.
Wow, that's a bulletproof defense in court.
You really have the lamest possible defense in your prior words, Jeb.
