President Eisenhower and Illegal Immigration

Eisenhower was tough on illegals trying to enter the country. He was very successful in stopping this scourge.

not really.

You see, what happened was that most of these people came up during WWII when we had a labor shortage. We only sought to repatriate them after the war was over. Most of them laid low for a few years and came back.

You see, migrant labor was considered part of the equation before the idiots started talking about secure border. migrants would come up for the harvest season and go home.

Then you guys made getting across the border more of a pain in the ass, so not surprisingly, they just cross once and stay now.

Today's problem is that we have a humanitarian crisis in most of the world with 110 million displaced people by various wars, economic collapse, crime, and environmental change.

Well, a concern to you, I don't care that much.

But the reason they don't just migrate anymore is that they've made crossing the border such a pain in the ass that you only do it once and stay.

Los Angeles and Orange County are way too far apart to be an "area". All of the streets have Spanish names. Get used to it.

Sounds like they mostly tried to crack down on employers using illegals but that wouldn't work today. Today the government itself gives them free food, lodging, healthcare, money, and benefits. And, the government itself is now hiring illegals. But, with all the other freebies, the illegals don't even need to really work. Plus, they can steal whatever they want without having to fear being arrested.

You might want to rethink that statement. Orange County borders Los Angeles County on the south like Riverside County does on the south east, San Bernardino does on the southwest, Kern County on the north and Ventura County does on the northwest.
 
Would be a violation of our laws.

Here's the underlying problem, we haven't set up an immigration system that reflects either our labor needs nor our own laws, which allow people to claim asylum if they have an expectation of abuse if they return home.
anyone of them can say that joe.....
 
It is enlightening to listen to past Democrat leaders expound on what a scourge illegal immigration was.



But they did a figurative one-eighty around the turn of the century, and nobody in the MSM has ever conspicuously called them out on it. Is it any wonder that we Republicans accuse them of trying to destroy the country with the cancer of third-world wretches determining the outcome of our elections?

Yes, they can.

And the solution to that is to have enough Asylum officers and judges to sort out the cases on an expedited manner. My wife has been waiting 8 years for an asylum hearing, so we decided to go for a marriage sponsorship instead. That will only take a year to resolve.

The problem is, let's say half of them are lying. That still means the other half gets in.

Now, I hate to keep bringing them up, but you have that whacky German Family who have been here for 18 years because they claimed they were being "oppressed" because Germany doesn't allow homeschooling. The courts have ruled time and time again that their claims are bullshit, but they've been allowed to stay because they are white...er... because of political pressure from the religious community. .
