Says President Dwight Eisenhower “moved 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of”

Trump appeared in a lengthy interview on MSNBC and repeated his call for mass deportations of people here illegally.

Last night’s Fox Business debate featured the Republican White House hopeful leaning into some controversial ideas.

Trump also leaves out of his advocacy for the Eisenhower-era approach the fact the program was developed to complement a guest-worker program that began in the 1940s and was aimed at allowing Mexican farmworkers to enter the country and work in the US legally.

“People liked him. I like Ike”.

“No, I don’t”, know him, Trump confessed. [That’s the] expression. ‘I like Ike.’ Moved a million and a half illegal immigrants out of this country, moved them just beyond the border: They came back.

This isn’t the first time white nationalists have had a positive reaction to Trump. The vast majority of the program took place during fiscal year 1955, which registered just about 254,000 apprehensions total, she wrote in a 2010 report.

He touted President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s efforts in the 1950s as proof such a mass deportation can be done. This coincided with the return of soldiers after WWII and an unprecedented entrance of American women in the labor market. “They moved 1.5 million out, ” the billionaire real estate mogul said.

Employers were punished for hiring undocumented immigrants. “And it must have worked, because Mexicans were never seen here again”.

The Mexican government cooperated with and assisted the program.

Trump’s immigration policy is morally reprehensible because it would tear apart families that have put down roots in fertile American soil.

Beyond the issues of human rights, scholars have debated the program’s effectiveness.

“Operation Wetback” is estimated to have moved more than one million immigrants from the United States, though scholars doubt that number. Critics argue that Trump’s “Operation Wetback 2.0” would lead to hundreds of thousands of deportations of American citizens.

During an appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor”, Trump spoke about the operation.

Trump didn’t mention the policy by name. The stablemate comment made Colbert question if Trump knew that Putin was the shirtless man on the horse in a well known photo of the Russian leader, and not actually the horse. “He really is to be supported”, said co-host Don Advo, according to BuzzFeed. “If you’re racist and nativist that’s what gets rewarded without any specificity or viability of how do these things happen”.

When talking about Donald Trump’s immigration plan, President Obama said “ironically” those that are the most anti-immigrant are often the products of recent immigrants. “The biggest problem is they don’t get the votes, they don’t get the polling numbers”, Trump said.

Tapper explained that one of the reasons “undocumented immigrant” is the preferred term is because “some of the people in this country were brought here as children and therefore they didn’t necessarily commit the illegal act”.
