President Eisenhower deported a million illegals alone in the space of a year. Not only that, he did it with only 750 deportation agents, in an operation with a name we would never use today: Operation Wetback.
Some 750 agents swept northward through agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions a day. By the end of July, over 50,000 aliens were caught… Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country. By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 illegals had left the Lone Star State voluntarily.
Unlike today, Mexicans caught in the roundup were not simply released at the border, where they could easily reenter the US. To discourage their return, Swing arranged for buses and trains to take many aliens deep within Mexico before being set free.
Tens of thousands more were put aboard two hired ships, the Emancipation and the Mercurio. The ships ferried the aliens from Port Isabel, Texas, to Vera Cruz, Mexico, more than 500 miles south.
The sea voyage was “a rough trip, and they did not like it,” says Don Coppock, who worked his way up from Border Patrolman in 1941 to eventually head the Border Patrol from 1960 to 1973.
Wikipedia says over 1,000,000 were detained and deported. If only 750 agents were able to get rid of a million or more illegals (either by direct arrest or by self-deportation), by the same logic, 7,500 agents should be able to get rid of 10 million illegals. Seventy-five hundred agents won’t cost “hundreds of billions of dollars.” I’d be surprised if the entire operation cost more than a billion dollars, counting costs of detention and transportation.

If only 750 agents were able to get rid of a million or more illegals (either by direct arrest or by self-deportation), using the same logic, 7,500 agents should repatriate 10 million illegals back to their original countries. Seventy-five hundred agents won’t cost “hundreds of billions of dollars.” The entire operation cost barely over billion dollars, counting costs of detention and transportation. With the money saved, a really strong wall could be built across the entire southern border.
In the short and long term, it would be very economical for the nation…and very compassionate –to real U.S. Citizens.
Let’s call it “Operation Recycled Back Home.”

Their anchor children A.K.A DACA needs to be abolished. This generation of “Americans” by default invaded our country with unappreciative, misinformed offspring who share a hatred for the country that affords them a lifestyle they would never have attained in their third world s**t hole. Instead of counting their blessings, they spit on the soil that feeds them, clothes them, houses them, educates them and cures them when they get sick. All free money that was never earned. Draining our education dollars with your useless degrees and cheating your way into our political system. It was stolen by criminal parents reinforcing their third world mentality, hijacking American taxpayer dollars due to a flawed loophole in our system. These are terrorists who have invaded our sovereign nation. They are declaring war on the American people. This is a coup that’s been in the works for decades. Its time we rise up and take our country back.
