Operation Wetback Worked; Why Not Again?

Just a touch of actual US history here.

...at the personal direction of President Dwight D. Eisenhower – the fabled American hero of the D-Day invasion – illegal immigrants in America were rounded up and deported back to Mexico. Exactly as Donald Trump is proposing to do today. ...

With the full support of Prescott Bush, father to GHWBush and grandfather to Jeb!

Huh.

...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 in the two states. Another 488,000, fearing arrest, had fled the country.

By mid-July, the crackdown extended northward into Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, and eastward to Texas.
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...--Christian Science Monitor quoted at CR

That 800,000 was Texas alone, folks. Who knows how many fled from the rest of the US?

Immediately thereafter, the economy of Texas and the USA collapsed, just as the current crop of illegal-alien backers, alien-lawyer profiteers, and wage-slavery employers have predicted.  And of course, there were riots, and the collapse of civil order.  You remember that, don't you? /sarcasm

Or not.
