President Mr. Obama; You Worry Me! Socialism Is A Non-Starter Dummy!
Wow!
What did they have in common???
What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?
Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass
around. I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me.
Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.
Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal's after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans.
And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican Nationals! The program was called 'Operation Wetback'. It was done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs. It took 2 Years, but they deported them!
Operation Wetback was a 1954 operation by the United States
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to remove about three
million illegal immigrants from the southwestern United States. It
focused on Mexican nationals. Burgeoning numbers of illegal aliens
prompted President Dwight D. Eisenhower to appoint his longtime friend,
General Joseph Swing, as INS Commissioner. According to Attorney General
Herbert Brownell Jr., Eisenhower had a sense of urgency about illegal
immigration upon taking office. In a letter to Sen. William Fulbright,
Eisenhower quoted a report in The New York Times that said, "The rise in
illegal border-crossing by Mexican 'wetbacks' (rooted from the watery
route taken by the Mexican immigrants across the Rio Grande) to a
current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by
a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the
farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the
Federal Government."
The effort began in California and Arizona and coordinated 1075 Border
Patrol agents, along with state and local police agencies, to mount an
aggressive crackdown, going as far as police sweeps of Mexican-American
neighborhoods and random stops and ID checks of "Mexican-looking" people
in a region with many Native Americans and native Hispanics. 750 agents
targeted agricultural areas with a goal of 1000 apprehensions a day. By
the end of July, over 50,000 immigrants were caught in the two states.
Around 488,000 illegal immigrants are claimed to have left voluntarily
for fear of being apprehended. By September, 80,000 had been taken into
custody in Texas, and the INS estimates that 500,000 to 700,000 had left
Texas on their own. To discourage re-entry, buses and trains took many
deportees deep within Mexico before releasing them. Tens of thousands
more were deported by two chartered ships, the Emancipation and the
Mercurio. The ships ferried them from Port Isabel, Texas, to Veracruz,
Mexico, more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) to the south. Some were
taken as far as 1,000 miles. Deportation by sea was ended after seven
deportees jumped overboard from the Mercurio and drowned, provoking a
mutiny which lead to a public outcry in Mexico
Now...if they could deport the illegal's back then - they could sure do it today?
