"Operation Wetback"
Dear friends:
The term "wetback" is now considered derogatory; however, a few years
ago it was official U.S. government terminology.
Operation Wetback was a repatriation project of the United States Immigration
and Naturalization Service to remove illegal Mexican immigrants ("wetbacks")
from the Southwest. See
http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/OO/pqo1.html .
"Wetback" refers to an illegal Mexican immigrant or worker who crosses
the Rio Grande river into the United States, sometimes swimming to get across.
It probably became derogatory and politically incorrect when crooked American
politicians discovered they could get votes for themselves from these illegals.
Where is a Hoover or Eisenhower when we need him?
The below article is from NH Insider, from New Hampshire.
PRESIDENTS HOOVER & EISENHOWER DEPORTED MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS

I did not know of this until it was pointed out to me, that back during
the great depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all
illegal aliens in order to make the jobs available to American citizens that
desperately needed work.
Then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 1.3 million Mexican
nationals called Operation Wetback in order that returning American WWII and
Korean veterans had a better chance at jobs.
It took 2 years, but they deported them! If they could deport the illegals back
then, they can sure do it today!!
If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, just type Operation
Wetback into Google and confirm it for yourself.
Reminder: Don't forget to pay your taxes.....12 million illegal aliens are depending
on you!
