it's time for another.

Operation Wetback
On June 17, 1954 Eisenhower launched Operation Wetback in response to the increase illegal immigration into the U.S. During this time the Immigration and Naturalization Service deported around 80,000 illegal immigrants. Eisenhower believed that the large increase of illegal immigrants entering the country led to lower wages for Americans, corruption, and violence.

Eisenhower and that generation didn't screw around. Even Democrats had some dropped testicles then.

It does call lower wages, corruption, and violence.

Time to take a stand and stop being so politically correct.

You liberals do understand why you want legal immigration and not illegal, don't you?

I have absolutely no issue with legal immigration, and welcome it, but there has to be a screening system so that you can identify the bad apples to the best of your ability. You know, those things specifically spelled out in US law that prevent entry to the country.

I could live without all of it. They stink and they're loud. It's bad enough they talk in noises, but they don't understand that the public is not for shouting your conversations out.

Guess we have a long way to go to make America too undesirable for these people to invade.
