In 1955 I was in the Border Patrol when Eisenhower was mass deporting illegals via airlines, railroads and ships. I don’t recall the exact number. I don’t know how they managed to take them into custody then. We certainly didn’t have the manpower we do now. But we didn’t have the number then that we do now either. I used to ride the deportation trains from El Paso, TX to Marfa, TX where we were relieved by another crew. I believe they were destined to Brownsville and placed aboard ships.
What do you think all those profiling charges came up? They had to quit stopping probable illegals, you know like Mexicans that didn't speak English and start harassing white guys.
