Donald Trump said that if he were to become president of the United States, part of his immigration policy would be modeled directly after a 1950s policy called "Operation Wetback."
In an interview published online for 60 Minutes Overtime, Trump told CBS anchor and correspondent Scott Pelley that his immigration plan to deport all undocumented immigrants in the country and allow them to come in on a per-case basis can work because President Dwight D. Eisenhower did it more than half a century ago.
"We are rounding them up in a very humane way, in a very nice way, and they're going to be happy because they want to be legalized," Trump explained in the portion of his 60 Minutes interview that did not make air.
Trump went on to defend his policy by citing Eisenhower's 1954 immigration policy, Operation Wetback, which deported roughly 1 million undocumented immigrants to Mexico.

Eisenhower told the country that jobs needed to be freed up for the vets who won World War II. Ike asked the Mexican workers to leave the country and most of them got up and moved back to Mexico.
I suspect the same thing would happen this time.
30,000 people won’t be a problem, i would off the top of my head guess at least 300,000 qualified deputies will be waiting the first day to be sworn in.
Actually easier that that. Trump has made it clear that “the really good ones” (i.e., most of them, probably) are welcome to apply to return quickly.
So...simply tell them that their re-admission paperwork will be handled in the order in which it is received. They’ll be jumping over each other to get home, if that is done. Trump has INCREDIBLE LEVERAGE, I’m just not sure he realizes the extent of it.
I see so many pregnant Mexican women with several toddlers in tow, looking like there isn’t a year between any of them. They just come here and keep pushing them out, using up our medical care and welfare money.
One brown baby at a time.
I hadn’t realized that. Thanks.
Thanks SVCW.
BobL, I think you’d be flabbergasted at how fast those jobs were filled. I’m certainly willing to give it a shot.
True. PC has made the simplest plan incomprehensible to most of our politicians.
I like it...
Yes it has.
“BobL, I think you’d be flabbergasted at how fast those jobs were filled. I’m certainly willing to give it a shot.”
ABSOLUTELY, with the right incentives. To paraphrase a (very sick) slogan from 2004, perhaps we can say “Work or DIE”. Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.
Well, when it comes to Welfare, that is precisely the reform that needs to take place. I think Trump should move in that direction and it has seemed to me at times this was on his mind.
Plenty of fluids and cold compresses for you.
Hey Donald! What’s your FR name? ??
LOL....definitely sounds like they took a knock on the noggin :)
Sure seems so, doesn’t it?
“Operation Trump” or “Operation Wetback”, whatever you want to call it, is NEVER going to happen. Never. The only feasible and legal immigration plan is one that strengthens the borders and deals sternly with illegals from this point forward. There is no conceivable way, legal or otherwise, that upwards of 11 million people can be sent home.
The courts have ruled that, while they are within the borders of the United States, illegal immigrants are granted the same fundamental, undeniable constitutional rights granted to all Americans.
Illegals are protected under the law. Each and every one of them are entitled to due process. Trump must know this, yet he’s paying lip service to the issue to get votes. That is despicable.
Trump can’t just go in there, wave a scepter and change our Constitution. That so many Freepers are ignorant of this, and are buying Trump’s absolute nonsense, surprises and disappoints me.
Id heard five or more years ago that the real number hovered around 20 Million ILLEGAL Invaders!
These Trumpkins are delusional! How can they believe his preposterous lies (yes, they are lies because Trump is smart enough to know better).
This is fact: “The courts have ruled that, while they are within the borders of the United States, illegal immigrants are granted the same fundamental, undeniable constitutional rights granted to all Americans.”
DT is proving himself a racist and xenophobe as well as a liar. Each day and each interview confirms that.
I’m trying to tell it like it is and so are you and many others, but it’s like hitting a brick wall.
There’s something very ugly going on here - like a pack of rabid, snarling dogs. I’m starting to see how easy it was for nefarious populists in the past century to anger people so much that all rational thought is destroyed.
Lord, help us. We don’t want to go down that road ever again.
