We did it before, and we can do it again!

​

In 1954, 750 Border Patrol agents deported 1.1 million illegals in the space of a few months.

Today, we have 21,000 Border Patrol agent, —and far more advanced technology.

Mass deportations are reasonable, necessary and possible.

We've done it before, and we can do it again!

Trump wants the largest deportation force in history.

His critics say that's too costly, complicated and cruel.

They're wrong. We should start making that argument now.

Support for deportations is at record highs.The media is going to try to change that.

Don't let them.

There are two main categories here: "Returns" and "Removals."

"Returns" are voluntary departure; illegal aliens choosing to leave on their own without a formal deportation order.

"Removals" are what we think of as deportations; compulsory and based on a formal order of removal.

Deportations have been climbing for decades.

B. Hussein Obama actually deported a record number of people: more than 3 million. (Although interior removals declined relative to the overall illegal population).

He was nicknamed the "deporter in chief" by far left critics.

There have been various points in American history under both Republican and Democrat presidents where we've mass-mobilized resources to repel a border invasion.

Blowjob Bill Clinton launched Operation Gatekeeper.

Bush and Obama both deployed the National Guard to help apprehend illegals.

President Trump is aiming to do something more ambitious.

As of July 2023, an estimated 11.7 million illegal aliens lived in the US.

Some estimate that there are far more.

To fix this decades-long crisis, Trump will have to deport more than any other president in history.

The most successful mass deportation in American history todate happened in 1954, about 70 years ago.

A program known as "Operation Wetback" removed 1.1 million illegal aliens in just a few months.

Here's the kicker: They did it with only 750 agents.

In 1954, America faced a crisis similar to ours: 3 million illegal aliens had crossed the border over the past few years.

The farming industry was exploiting the cheap migrant labor to pay half the American wage, and they were paying off local officials to look the other way.

​

Ranchers were paying illegal workers about half the going American wage, too.

Senior US immigration officials "had friends among the ranchers", so they looked the other way. Border Patrol agents didn't dare make arrests on certain farms, because their bosses had political connections. Sound familiar?

Powerful politicians like Senator Lyndon Johnson (D) of Texas were in bed with influential vested interests, such as ranchers and growers, who wanted cheap migrant labor to pick their crops and tend their herds.

From 1944-1954, illegal immigration from Mexico increased 6,000%.

​

In 1954, Eisenhower's solution was to go around the establishment.

He appointed Gen. Joseph Swing, a West Point classmate to head immigration enforcement.

Swing's first move: Oust corrupt officials, and replace them with men who would do their job.

On June 17, 1954, "Operation Wetback" began.

It started in California and Arizona, but by mid-July, it had extended into the rest of the interior.

By the end of July, only 750 agents had caught over 50,000 illegals, and another 488,000 illegals had voluntarily fled the country.

 

[Diogenes]

Over half a million, in one month, with just 750 agents.

In only two years, Border Patrol had virtually halted illegal immigration across the entire 2,000-mile US-Mexico frontier.

Once "removals" began, "voluntary returns" spiked.

Illegal workers and their greedy US employers saw which way the wind was blowing.

It worked before, and there's no reason to think it won't work again.

 

[Diogenes]

Of course, the man who had been in command of the victorious Allied Forces in Europe knew what to do.

He didn't just drop deportees at the border, where they could easily hop back across into America.

He used buses, trains, planes and ships to take them more than 500 miles south into Mexico.

Many were even met at the border with specially chartered trains.

 

[Diogenes]

By the end of the 1950s, illegal immigration had declined by 95%.

In just a few years, America hadn't just deported the surge of illegal immigrants who had entered our country, we had almost eliminated the problem of illegal immigration altogether.

Does this look like a man who'll let the maudlin mewlings of demented Democrats stop him from repeating the achievement?

​

They tried to jail him.

They tried to kill him.

They tried to beat him.

THEY FAILED​

What all of this proves is that large-scale mass deportations are not only possible, they tend to become easier.

Once you start deporting en masse, many illegals will voluntarily leave the country.

Here's what some Border Patrol veterans of Operation Wetback said in a 2006 interview:
