We are constantly being told by Democrats and Republican appeasers, that we simply “cannot deport millions of people.” However, history proves this to be a lie.
In 1954, President Eisenhower appointed his West Point classmate and 101st Airborne Division veteran Gen. Joseph “Jumpin’ Joe” Swing as head of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
On June 17, 1954, under the direction of President Eisenhower, Gen. Swing began a roundup of illegal aliens for deportation in what became known as “Operation Wetback.”
The operation initially began in California and Arizona but eventually spread to several other states. By the end of July, more than 50,000 illegal aliens had been arrested between the two states.
On July 15, 1954, the first day of operations in Texas, 4,800 illegal aliens were apprehended across the Lone Star state, with a daily average thereafter of about 1,100.
According to the INS, 80,000 illegal aliens had been taken into custody in Texas by September, with an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 leaving the state voluntarily or “self-deporting.”
Border Patrol agents also made apprehensions in Utah, Nevada, and Idaho during this time.
The illegal aliens were sent back to Mexico on World War II-era army trucks, buses, and trains into the interior of Mexico, rather than simply releasing them, just on the other side of the border, as would be done in later years.
Illegal aliens were even sent back to Mexico by ship...
The Emancipation, for instance, ferried the Mexican nationals from Port Isabel, Texas, to Veracruz, Mexico.
The operation was over by the fall of 1954, with the INS claiming to have removed 1,300,000 illegal aliens (including self-deportations) from the American Southwest in only a few months.
The reasons for Operation Wetback were much the same as those which exist today…the threat which large numbers of illegal aliens pose to the security of the United States (crime, higher financial burden for taxpayers, job losses to citizens, public health risk due to disease, etc.).
However, until today, there has not been a man in the White House who took his oath to protect this country seriously and placed the safety of American citizens over profits from cheap labor in seven decades.
By the way, the entire operation was conducted with no more than 750 federal agents, only a fraction of the reported 25,000 + agents we have today.
Of course, there are a few, painfully simple measures we could take to stop the current invasion and expel those who have no respect for our borders, nor for our citizens.
President Donald Trump is being characterized by the corporate media as controversial and getting away with it, simply due to the fact that the last time our immigration laws were enforced in a meaningful way, two-thirds of the country were not even alive at the time...No one remembers!
