How Trump’s Deportation Plan Failed 62 Years Ago
Donald Trump has ran up to the top of the Republican presidential pack. As you might know he states that if he were running this country he would eject almost 11 million undocumented workers from our country. He cites a specific model for his plan which is called “Operation Wetback,” an unprecedented sweep by the U.S. in the 50’s that took Mexican laborers from there career and placed them in detention centers along the border and sent many back to Mexico. Even if Trump was able to get this plan to work it would cost hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars. But, Trump is also completely ignoring how much the country has changed since the “Operation Wetback” …show more content…
They wanted to force the growers to only hire legal Mexican workers known as “braceros”. Braceros were permitted to work in the U.S. with a certain wage and medical for a year. This drew many Mexicans into the U.S. The undocumented immigrants have apprehended since 1954. So, if Trump did follow through, would it even work? This has an impact on the U.S. because many immigrants live here with there families and many relationships have been made. If this plan follows through many people could get angry and many conflicts could occur. I think to solve this problem people need to stand up to Trump and tell him the complications of the situation, and what the outcome could come to. Hopefully, someone would be able to change his mind.
Considering the statistics of the undocumented immigrant and their population increasing instead of decreasing, “Operation Wetback” didn’t work the way planned. But, according to statistics our numbers for undocumented workers being removed has also increased. Trump says he would go along the lines of the operation that happened in the 50’s, but considering the outcome, what would happen now? The U.S. is integrated and far less racist than it was in the 50’s, this would have a really big impact on the U.S. if it happened. The question is, would it even
