Mexico Hoover & Eisenhower

I got this in my email this morning. The forwarder tacked on the statement that "On ABC’s Good Morning America this morning, they said that by the year 2050 Hispanics will out number Americans in the U.S."

Quote:
HOOVER AND EISENHOWER

Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me. But, back during the Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 1.3 million Mexican nationals! The program was called "Operation Wetback" so that American WWII and Korean veterans had a better chance at jobs. It took 2 years, but they deported them!

Now, if they could deport the illegals back then, they can sure do it today!! If you have doubts about the veracity of this inform ation, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

Reminder. Don't forget to pay your taxes... 12 million illegal aliens are depending on you!

Assuming this is true, and leaving all other issues aside, if it took 2 years to deport "1.3 million Mexican nationals," wouldn't it take 20 years to deport 12 million illegal aliens? Even assuming a 100% increase in the speed of mass deportation programs, wouldn't it take 10 years?

See, that's your problem, Lainie. You don't know how to think BIG! I got the idea for how to deport everyone after seeing the post-Katrina pictures. We can borrow all the school buses from around the country on weekends and holidays. We'll have 'em all out of here in a matter of months!

No need to thank me. I give my ideas freely, for the good of the nation.

While we've got the buses running, is there anyone else you'd like to haul away?

You don't have enough buses.

All Americans are indeed Caucasian. It's about time someone pointed this out.

No, silly, some of them are black. But not the Hispanic blacks -- they're not Americans.

We can get taxis too. Most of 'em are driven by ferriners anyway, right?

Well, according to wikipedia
Quote:
Operation Wetback deported approximately 80,000 Mexican nationals in the space of almost a year, although local INS officials claimed that an additional 500,000-700,000 had fled to Mexico before the campaign began.
80,000 actually deported, with an estimate that up to 700,000 left to avoid being deported. I wonder how many of those were back in the US after the operation had finished.

So in just 300 years, we could get deport all of the illegal immigrants!

I like how it seems to make the argument that all of the illegal immigrants are Mexicans.

No, some are Canadians, but all Canadians are white! They don't count! Gumnabit.
