Should Obama Increase Deportations of Illegal Aliens ?

[Freewill]

Should Obama Increase Deportations of Illegal Aliens ? There has been talk of decreasing deportation of illegal aliens. There even has been talk of eliminating deportation alltogether, and giving illegal aliens amnesty.

In 1954, huge numbers of illegal aliens were deported under the program of President Eisenhower and Gen. Joseph Swing, called "Operation Wetback". *** Immigration agents went house to house in Southwestern states, hunting down illegals, arresting them and deporting them. Huge numbers more fled back to Mexico.

Some say, if Ike and Swing were here now, they would do the same thing all over again, and illegal residency would be stopped quickly. I tend to agree. I think the open borders crowd (a motley collection of vested interest supporters of illegal immigration) probably agree also, except they would never say so. Instead. they pretend that mass deportation could not occur, and recommend what they laughably call "comprehensive immigration reform".

Only trouble is, this amnesty they support isn't "reform" one iota. It is nothing but a means of legalizing millions of illegal aliens who by various ways, perform some kind of function helpful to THEM,, while negatively impacting all the rest (great majority) of the rest of the American people.

Obama is obviously leaning toward DECREASING deportations, and recently has made it easier for illegal aliens to remain in the US. Here's another question. Has there been a lack of opposition to Obama's leniency ? If so, why ?

*** Officially, just over 2.1 million were recorded as having been deported or having departed under threat of deportation, in Operation Wetback (more than any other president) Hoover, Truman & Ike: Mass Deporters?

52% Say U.S. Not Aggressive Enough in Deportations; 14% Say Too Aggressive - Rasmussen Reports?

No, the liberals need them to pick their lettuce on the cheap and now man the army.

They're not needed for either of those things. And the liberals can go scratch.

What about wealthy foreigners who pay big money for express visas so their children can be US citizens?

"In some cases, illegal immigrants were deported along with their American-born children, who were by law U.S. citizens."

The Border | 1953 Operation Wetback

Children born here should be given a SSAN and a passport and welcomed back when they reach the age of majority as measured by our country.

Their parents. Not so much.

Their American-born children are considered American citizens by a misguided misinterpretation of the law.

"[The 14th amendment] will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of person." (Jacob Howard, US Senate, May 30 1866)

Yes.....and while he's at it, deport himself. He's the only illegal alien to ever hold an office illegally. You can tell he's an alien by the bushy eyebrows and the Dumbo ears.
