Obama will go full Mussolini with executive orders and stir up such hell that the American people might deliver another GOP wave in 2016. Democrats might be looking at the extinction of their party and will continue to run from Obama and work more with the GOP in Congress. I wouldn’t bet Reid or Pelosi will hold on as minority leaders

Operation Wetback

In 1949 the Border Patrol seized nearly 280,000 illegal immigrants. By 1953, the numbers had grown to more than 865,000, and the U.S. government felt pressured to do something about the onslaught of immigration.

What resulted was Operation Wetback, devised in 1954 under the supervision of new commissioner of the Immigration and Nationalization Service, Gen. Joseph Swing.

Swing oversaw the Border patrol, and organized state and local officials along with the police. The object of his intense border enforcement were "illegal aliens," but common practice of Operation Wetback focused on Mexicans in general.

The police swarmed through Mexican American barrios throughout the southeastern states. Some Mexicans, fearful of the potential violence of this militarization, fled back south across the border.

In 1954, the agents discovered over 1 million illegal immigrants.
