The point, Snidely, is that the PBS ultra-liberal take on the deportations was that they were done by the federal government and were horrible!
But PBS did NOT mention that those deportations were done at the orders of the most fascist/socialist president America has ever had -- Franklin D. Roosevelt, with the connivance of a Democratic-party-dominated Congress.
Hispanics, when they think about which party to vote for, should keep this bit of history in mind.
Those were U.S. citizens that FDR ran out of the country.

The deportations were started in 1930, at the direction of Herbert Hoover, who was most definitely not a Democrat or liberal. Federal deportation efforts lasted until 1933, the year Franklin Roosevelt became President, but state and local officials did continue deportations throughout the 1930s.

This is just another example of the left spinning the truth, often by simply omitting the facts.
Who was in charge of the interment camps, or the mass deportation of citizens?
Which party passed the Civil Rights Act?
Which party endorsed the Emancipation Proclamation?

PBS Has never had anything even remotely resembling the truth broadcast from their transmitters, ever.
People rarely look to history when voting, they look more to what they've been promised.
And like the beaten spouse who listens to their abuser when they promises they'll change, people believe the Rats when they claim, "This time I won't lie, I promise!"
