Deporting illegal aliens

Pardon me, but if I hear one more time that we can’t deport 12 million illegal aliens I’m headed for the backyard to howl at the moon. Is the American memory so short that we’ve already forgotten the 1950s? This writer is old enough to remember very clearly the mass deportation of illegal aliens that occurred in 1954 in what was officially termed “Operation Wetback” (prior to the age of political correctness).

“Operation Wetback” was a failure:

The story has a ring of simplicity well suited to this age of one-dimensional solutions framed by force. The reality of "Operation Wetback" wasn't so simple. Eisenhower's sweep was effective because it was mass deportation on the Soviet model, not because it was admirable, let alone fair or, in thousands of cases, legal. Mexicans were especially targeted whether they were legal immigrants or not. Children of Mexican parents, who were American citizens for having been born on American soil, were deported, too. We just learned that Americans by the thousands (and their children) are being denied Medicaid benefits because they can't produce proof of citizenship under a new law designed to target illegal immigrants. Imagine how many Mexicans were wrongly targeted for deportation in the mid-1950s.

Moreover, any such effort to day would be illegal and un-Constitutional, thankfully.

Otherwise, the article’s author offers no new, viable, legal solutions to address the issue. He and others like him need to get over their hate, fear, and ignorance to develop a plan within the framework of Constitutional case law.

To advocate another “Operation Wetback” is reprehensible.
 
As though by a cruel trick of stupidity, moronic ideas like mass deportation of illegals and mass Berlin-Wall style moat-building projects come from the same people who bemoan government's legitimate role in anything, decry rising budget deficits, and weep at the thought of the precipitous fall from grace of the American economy.
 
Start the Mass Deportations NOW, deport every illegal alien from American whether they be man, woman or child!!!

It’s CHEAPER to deport the illegal aliens than it is to keep them and let them bleed us dry! The pro-illegal alien supporters just want you to think it financially unfeasible and virtually impossible to deport the illegal aliens but it really isn’t. Go at it, one at a time until the job is done.

Ike, (President Dwight D. Eisenhower) deported 1.5 million illegal aliens in the 1954 and he didn’t have near the problem we have today so, I say Operation Wetback was a screaming success!!!

In 2007, legal and illegal aliens cost the federal government more than $346 BILLION dollars and the U.S. taxpayers paid more than $ 9,000.00 for each immigrant in the country!

The National Policy Institute "estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period."

It’s illegal and un-Constitutional, having nothing to do with expense, assuming you wan to put suspects in camps and deport them sans due process.
 
I think it would be nice to go to Wal-Mart or McDonald's and not here the constant jabbering of Spanish. Time to get the illegals out of the US.
 
Do your research. Deportation of illegal aliens are not only constitutional but is legal and the right thing to do to stop illegal immigraton. Operation Wetback was a success. And we can do it again and cost less then amnesty or doing nothing which is not an option. All we have to do is start the round up and they will self deport pronto to get the good jobs in Mexico first.
