My Stock in Hoover has gone up a lot.

Yeah, kind of makes him look like a visionary, doesn't it?

Herbert Hoover was president in 1944? Who woulda thunk?

My Stock in Hoover has gone up a lot.

The article says that the deportations took place between 1929 and 1944. Hoover may have started the policy but the majority of that time period FD Roosevelt was in office and he obviously didn't stop it. I wonder why the article fails to mention this hero of the left?

You mean all we have to do is deport the illegal aliens and we can shorten our unemployment what a novel Idea.

“The restriction of immigration is a Republican policy. Our party formulated and enacted into law the quota system, which for the first time has made possible an adequate control of foreign immigration. Rigid examination of applicants in foreign countries prevented the coming of criminals and other undesirable classes while other provisions of the law have enabled the President to suspend immigration of foreign wage-earners who otherwise, directly or indirectly, would have increased unemployment among native born and legally resident foreign born wage-earners in this country…We favor the continuance and strict enforcement of our present laws upon this subject.”
--1932 Republican Party Platform

The 1928 platform has a simular sentiment. Of course if Hoover were alive today, the RINOs would claim he's a xenophobic racist demagogue who doesn't "belong" in the Republican Party (see Chris Cannon's comments to Tom Tancredo)
