ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call for mass deportation of millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, as well as their American-born children, bears similarities to a large-scale removal that many Mexican-American families faced 85 years ago.
During the Great Depression, counties and cities in the American Southwest and Midwest forced Mexican immigrants and their families to leave the U.S. over concerns they were taking jobs away from whites despite their legal right to stay.
The result: Around 500,000 to 1 million Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans were pushed out of the country during the 1930s repatriation, as the removal is sometimes called.

See? It can be done, with some political will, and good ol’ American know how.
When did the Washington Times go over to the left and join the ‘RATS who believe certain laws should not be obeyed?
yeah, lol. If they thought this was an article to upset us, it actually had the opposite effect. It proves, like you said, it can be done!!
Don’t allow any non-resident adults to collect a any benefits or from any programs for themselves or children and those that are not productive would leave on their own.
The issue is the Treasury money taken, not so much the nice people who could be here to avoid poverty in their own lands.
Goin’ back to that proud culture we all gotta respect admire and celebrate- Mexico!
That’s a bad thing?
So many disparaging media articles focusing on Trump.
Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’:
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
From the article: “During the Great Depression, counties and cities in the American Southwest and Midwest forced Mexican immigrants and their families to leave the U.S. over concerns they were taking jobs away from whites despite their legal right to stay.”
Actually it wasn’t concern they were taking jobs away from “whites”. The issue was they were taking jobs away from American citizens.
Same issue today even though the elites and the media continue to play the race card. An additional issue today is the illegals are consuming social services resulting in American citizens paying higher taxes. The wealthy elites can’t understand why average citizens object to paying taxes to support immigrant children from third world countries.
But Trump will still put them to front of the line to come back in, ahead of those doing it the right way
For these two reasons alone, I support Trump. Is he the "perfect candidate?" No. But he's better than any Democrat, and ALL the GOPe candidates.
For a long time, Cruz was my candidate. Ideologically, he is better than Trump. However, he has been effectively shut out by the MSM. Trump cannot be silenced.
My dream tam is Trump/Cruz.
1. Go after employers of illegal immigrants with healthy fines and jail
2. End all benefits for illegal immigrants, including driver's licenses
3. Announce that persons without proper entry documentations will be considered to be in violation of law and subject to arrest.
They'll head home on their own.
Done again in the 1950’s by Eisenhower. Should have been done in the 1970’s but instead we got amnesty in 1986 and the problem increased 10 fold.
Both parties answer is more amnesty.
Amnesty is surrender.
Viva Operation Wetback!
proved it can be done
And who was the prez??? The hero of the dimocrat party: FDR
Don’t allow any non-resident adults to collect any benefits or from any programs for themselves or children and those that are not productive would leave on their own.That's the key, your first paragraph.The issue is the Treasury money taken, not so much the nice people who could be here to avoid poverty in their own lands.
I wish Trump would get that and use it every time he talks about clearing the US of the freeloading criminal invading colonist insurgents and their families.
Two states have already implemented laws forbidding non citizens from being supported by the tax trough.
Unemployment has gone down in those states and the economy has improved immensely
It used to be that to come into the USA you either needed a sponsor or show that you had the means to support yourself and your family.
Now each illegal criminal alien here costs over $100,000 a year to support them and their extended families who "tag along" with them.
Didn’t the voters in CA try that with prop 187? How did that work out?
So?
Then that means it has been done TWICE.
Net jobs that Obama brags about went to immigrants. Breitbart had an article awhile back with the numbers.
