Operation Wetback

[UltraChad]

Because most Americans don't want birthright citizenship abolished. Have you ever seen a poll that says different?

But they do want their assets and democracy protected.

It was back in the 1950s, so it's barely remembered. But in hindsight, I hope we all can agree, by now, that Eisenhower's Operation Wetback was a national disgrace. And the country was no better off for it afterwards.

Just to put things in perspective.

Let's not do anything like that ever again.

He had the overwhelming support of the American people.

Anchor babies are no threat to any of that!

That does not make Operation Wetback any less of a national disgrace.

And just how is what's going on now any different from the national disgrace that was Operation Wetback?!

You're in the minority on this one by a wide wide margin. Deporting all immigrants who are here illegally: polls from the last month,
55 percent in favor "The New York Times,"
Marquette, 64 percent,
CBS News, 57 percent.
ABC News, with a slightly different question, 56 percent.

So, what you're seeing essentially here is a very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact, when they're asked this blunt question, which I believe gets at the underlying feelings, do, in fact, want to deport ALL immigrants who are here illegally.

It doesn't look any different so far.

Trump actually invoked the memory of Operation Wetback in yesterday's speech, as if it weren't the most shameful act of Eisenhower's administration!

Yeah, how dare Eisenhower put citizens before illegals?????

It seems that we still have not learned, after al this time, that Operation Wetback was a very, very bad idea.
