If it was good enough for politicians in the President Reagan [Eisenhower] era it should be good enough for us.

Then on June 17, 1954, what was called "Operation Wetback" began. Because political resistance was lower in California and Arizona, the roundup of aliens began there. Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day.
By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.

By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.

By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.

When real Americans had their own country.

We don’t have our own country anymore, you know this as well as I do.

We are just tolerated guests in some freak dystopia; for how much longer; who knows when they’ll decide it is time to re-educator or eliminate us.
