Amazing how President Eisenhower deported thousands of illegal aliens with only a fraction of the technology, manpower, and military might that exists today.

There are close to 25 million illegal aliens living in the country right now. They are having anchor babies, they are draining state taxpayer resources on things like education, housing, and medical care.

I will wait until actual legislation is proposed and voted on. I know Trump is doing this as a negotiating tactic to highlight the hypocrisy of the Dems saying they support the Dreamers only to not support them when they're not going to get instant citizenship under this deal.

But everyday, more and more Americans are dying at the hands of illegals and pretty soon those beloved Angel Moms are going to start questioning Trump and his policies.

“... Amazing how President Eisenhower deported thousands of illegal aliens with only a fraction of the technology, manpower, and military might that exists today. ...”

Eisenhower had a Country that was 90+% white majority, a democrat party that wasn’t totally and completely asshole communist yet and who still answered to - and feared - the American people for the most part, and a Republican party that was largely behind him.

That is not the case today.

Trump has his hands full. He’ll do the right thing. But he’ll do it his way.

The Eisenhower administration's "Operation Wetback" removed over a million unlawfully present aliens in 1954.

Ike's ‘Operation Wetback’ (imagine that being used today) had general support of a majority of the political class and Americans. Harry Truman's INS had done a lot of the operational planning and the Dems also wanted this done. The Korean War was over, the need for masses of workers now while rapidly expanding the armed forces and drawing on the smallest pool of draft eligibles (those born in the Great Depression) which made looking the other way about border jumpers a pragmatic solution n longer was valid. The labor unions were exerting pressure on the Dems to deport illegals who were then , as now, acting as a wage deflator. Even the black ‘civil rights’ organizations were quietly but persistently pressing for a crackdown on illegals as they would work for even less than black laborers and gave no backtalk as they were here illegally. Ike fully agreed and the size of the illegal problem was growing exponentially. So he put retired fire eater Lt Gen Joseph (Jumping Joe) Link in charge of INS and told him to execute the operation as though he were executing an o plan on the battlefield. It worked and the plan was executed with such dispatch and ‘zeal’ that illegals thought long and hard about coming to the land of the big BX. There is no national consensus today and more than half the political class want the ‘demographic’ changed for a variety of reasons.
