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.

You go Donald! LOL
Wetbacks love him. He is a nice person.
Yes! The Donald hits a grand slam.
He might’ve just won the election.
I just heard millions of tiny little liberal pinheads popping. Sounded like an army of kids playing in a mountain of bubble wrap
Wait until he finds out he’s dealing with 30,000,000 people.
I know he’s aware of that number.
To me, you send them back. If they apply for immigration, then you handle that as they work their way to the top of the line.
You shouldn’t give them preferential treatment, and you shouldn’t increase quotas.
Eliminate freebies and start enforcing our laws. They self-repatriate and you don’t have to help them do it.
We only need to deport 1-2 million illegals, the rest we can offer a free bus/plane/boat ride back to their home country no questions asked provided we take their finger prints, biometrics, etc, and if they get caught in this country illegally again we can jail their arses and throw away the key.
I'm still waiting.
Exactly what is needed to retain the rule of law and the faith of the citizens.
The media is so frustrated that they can’t poke a hole in this guy. I think God sent him. Our last chance.
Thanks for the ping.
He just said the same thing at his New Hampshire rally to heavy applause!
I like that one!
Donald has smart researchers....and there is a deep respect for Eisenhower. A good example.
Heck yeah!
First of all, Trump didn’t say “Operation Wetback”. That was put in by the author.
Second, I have a feeling Trump is going to try to destroy his own campaign because he doesn’t really want to be president. Even more so, he doesn’t want to lose outright. I hope I’m wrong.
It’ll be a business bonanza for U-Haul.
The fact that he even knows about this program & understands it is impressive in this degraded day & age.
