Donald Trump said that if he were to become president of the United States, part of his immigration policy would be modeled directly after a 1950s policy called "Operation Wetback."
In an interview published online for 60 Minutes Overtime, Trump told CBS anchor and correspondent Scott Pelley that his immigration plan to deport all undocumented immigrants in the country and allow them to come in on a per-case basis can work because President Dwight D. Eisenhower did it more than half a century ago.
"We are rounding them up in a very humane way, in a very nice way, and they're going to be happy because they want to be legalized," Trump explained in the portion of his 60 Minutes interview that did not make air.
Trump went on to defend his policy by citing Eisenhower's 1954 immigration policy, Operation Wetback, which deported roughly 1 million undocumented immigrants to Mexico.

Great stepped approach. The smart criminaliens will self deport early, so that they can later re-enter without being in the database.
US government will pay for their plane/bus/boat ticket back...
Where feasible, I'd fit them with a pair of hiking boots, a bottle of water, a compass, and point them south. That's how most got here, let'em go back the same way.

Which is why Phase 3,4, and 5 is so importante.

A one way plane ticket is load cheaper than the all the welfare payments we make to them plus with their bio-metric ID info we cancel any benefits as they board the plane.
If they lie on their data intake, ie use an alias to try to keep collecting welfare benefits, they get put in the phase 3 category.
Jeb still can’t understand why The Donald is stomping him into the mud of the Rio Grande.
Trump is just clearing the way for Cruz. You watch.
Thankfully had Trump not been in the race the media would have descended on Cruz even worse than they did to Sarah Palin. The longer Trump is in the better. Then Sarah and Trump come out for Cruz and it’s clear sailing after that.
That was the official government name. In a land far far away...
A long long time ago.
Just google it and weep.
Operation Wetback! Ha.
No political correctness from Trump.
I love it.
damn
There are easy ways to do it.
Proof of legal presence required to wire money.
Every illegal caught from now on will be charged, jailed, and DNA tested and be permanently banned from citizenship.
Give em a month to self deport first.
lol
That played a large part in Eisenhower’s efforts.
Yup, and it's amazing how many people don't know or cannot understand.
Phases can run concurrently. This is one that starts at the beginning and along side of your process.
Operation Wetback II: Wetter and Better
Isn’t it sad that the last time a President enforced immigration law was during Eisenhower’s administration?
I don’t think he used those words.
I think you are mistaken. Trump holds a huge lead. I doubt he is going to quit. He intends to win.
oh my..
Trump just almost got my vote with that statement alone!
What was the illegal population in Eisenhower’s era? How many were actually exported? How many readmitted with citizenship eventually obtained?
I will say this there will be thousands of landscaping and construction jobs available. Hell, I might get a landscaping business going if it happens.
