Operation Wetback - Mass Deportations

With the current necessity for mass deportations in all Western countries, we look at Operation Wetback, a program of mass deportations in the 1950's, to see what we can learn from history.

I didn’t know that! What’s all these rights people have when they are illegal and not supposed to be here? What you mean they have a right to hearing first? Say what? A right? 😢

While Operation Wetback achieved its goals, it's clear it caused a lot of hardship for many people. Moving forward, there are better, more humane ways to strengthen our workforce without resorting to mass deportations. Supporting workers who want to contribute can also help address America’s declining birthrate, keeping our communities and economy strong.

We don't HAVE to deport them. We can just PAY THEM to leave. A $MILLION per head would get it. They could go home and live like kings, and that would be cheaper for us in the long run.

Should the native people be given the same option for mass deportations. The UK will get full pretty quick.

Given the influx is around 10% of the whole population, it would be fairer whilst also proportionate to just make everyone inside the borders show papers. Perhaps it could be added on to a regular census. And with modern blockchain it could be done in such a way that everyone was checked once without anything needing to be retained in a central database.
