"Eisenhower did something similar in the 1950s and it worked out well enough without the chaos we have today. "

It was called "Operation Wetback" and it caused many/most illegals to self-deport.

There would be no will for something like that today, most conservatives just call for attrition through routine enforcement or cutting off the jobs magnet.

Eisenhower also enforced a strict guest worker program, which is what they need to do today.

Any candidate who stands for this along with no amnesty would be a vast improvement over what we have now.
