Operation Wetback

While the Left clutches pearls over the re-emergence of remigration as a possibly tool in the palette of our societies, others remember the history of Mexican deportation in the US:

During Operation Wetback, tens of thousands of immigrants were shoved into buses, boats and planes and sent to often-unfamiliar parts of Mexico, where they struggled to rebuild their lives. In Chicago, three planes a week were filled with immigrants and flown to Mexico. In Texas, 25 percent of all of the immigrants deported were crammed onto boats later compared to slave ships, while others died of sunstroke, disease and other causes while in custody.

It’s not clear how many American citizens were swept up in Operation Wetback, but the United States later claimed that 1.3 million people total were deported. However, some historians dispute that claim. Though hundreds of thousands of people were ensnared, says historian Kelly Lytle Hernandez, the number of deportees was drastically lower than the United States reported — likely closer to 300,000. Due to immigrants who were caught, deported, and captured again after re-emigrating, it’s impossible to estimate the total number of people deported under the program.

In response to a Cold War, the US mass-deported illegals. We have more humane methods at this point and would not use the degrading name, but the same principle arises. Illegal aliens in a foreign country have no right to be there, and have broken the law, therefore can be deported.

As things stand at present, the interpretation of our law is that such things violate “human rights.” However, laws change, and as the existential thread fully emerges, it is likely that not only will illegals be deported again, but those who employ illegals will face sanctions:

(In 1953 alone, some 886,000 persons were seized by the U.S. federal government for illegally entering the United States from Mexico.) The initiative focused on two primary objectives: (1) stemming the flow of illegal and undocumented Mexican workers into the United States and (2) discouraging the employers who harboured such workers. The plan met with resistance from some legislators as well as from agricultural and farming groups that lobbied Congress. Many legislators objected to one of the initiative’s central tenets—that employers of illegal workers should be punished—because proving the employers’ awareness of the workers’ illegal status would be difficult. Moreover, some lawmakers were hesitant about Brownell’s militaristic approach, which involved carrying out the plan like an invasion.

The Left likes to pretend that laws and interpretations of laws cannot change, but our history shows that these changes are the norm, not the exception. If those who are presently illegal are repatriated and birthright citizenship recognized as the fraud it is, the reconquista will remigrate.
