Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth. Liberal democrats are the lowest form of politicians. ~ GS Patton
FYI, Jim Geraghty’s answer is, “yeah, but Ike doubled the ‘bracero’ program.”
Amen, and
BTTT
Good article. I wish Trump would point out some of these things in the debates...like how illegal immigration is a national security concern, we’ve got ten times the Border Patrol agents Ike had, many illegals went home on their own once Ike started deporting, etc.
This article is very inaccurate. Ike deported 1.5 million, not 3 million. And our current border force is 20 TIMES larger, not 10% larger.
I like Ike
GO TRUMP.
Even my democrat neighbor wants a wall and deportation.
Dealing with America’s illegal alien crisis like Ike did would be difficult. There are too many traitors (called demonicrats) in the U.S. today, including in the three branches of the federal government.
I believe that Ike was expanding on what Truman had started. Truman had deported aprox 3.4 million with over 3 million of those self-deporting. Truman wanted stricter employer sanctions than what on the books at the time. Both Truman and Ike saw the future consequences of uncontrolled immigration...in this case ILLEGAL immigration.
I was a kid in NM when this happened. As I grew older I was able to understand what had happened. My best friend’s Mom and Dad were granted amnesty during that time. They had a flag pole in the front yard...with an American flag.
if we cant or wont enforce our borders, we are no longer a sovereign nation...
"Only, in Eisenhower s time the politically correct culture of liberal sensitivities constitution-ignoring state and federal politicians had yet to emerge."
There! Fixed it!
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
Regarding federal involvement in immigration policy, please consider the following. To the best of my knowledge the states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration. In fact, regardless that PC interpretations of the Constitutions ”uniform Rule of Naturalization” Clause (1.8.4) are now used to justify federal immigration laws, please consider this. Both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, Madison generally regarded as the father of the Constitution, had clarified, in terms of 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty nonetheless, that the states have never delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate immigration.
Here is the relevant excerpt from Jeffersons writings.
” 4. _Resolved_, That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens. And it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that ”the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” the act of the Congress of the United States, passed on the - day of July, 1798, intituled ”An Act concerning aliens,” which assumes powers over alien friends, not delegated by the Constitution, is not law, but is altogether void, and of no force [emphasis added].” Thomas Jefferson, Draft of the Kentucky Resolutions - October 1798.
And here is the related excerpt from the writings of James Madison in Virginia Resolutions.
"That the General Assembly doth particularly protest against the palpable and alarming infractions of the Constitution, in the two late cases of the ”Alien and Sedition Acts" passed at the last session of Congress; the first of which exercises a power no where delegated to the federal government, .... . .
. . . the General Assembly doth solemenly appeal to the like dispositions of the other states, in confidence that they will concur with this commonwealth in declaring, as it does hereby declare, that the acts aforesaid, are unconstitutional; and that the necessary and proper measures will be taken by each, for co-operating with this state, in maintaining the Authorities, Rights, and Liberties, referred to the States respectively, or to the people [emphasis added]. ” James Madison, Draft of the Virginia Resolutions - December 1798.
Get the numbers right and notice that many self-deported.

What you have to do is locate every illegal and serve them with a notice stating that: “In 90 days from this date you will be subject to immediate removal to your country of origin”.
Make it known that they will be removed having nothing in their possession other than the clothes on their backs and that all abandoned property is to be seized by the government.
This should facilitate many self-deportations.
